"This book provides an introduction to probability theory, statistical inference, and statistical modeling for social science researchers and Ph.D. students. Focusing on the connection between statistical procedures and social science theory, Sean Gailmard develops core statistical theory as a set of tools to model and assess relationships between variables - the primary aim of social scientists. Gailmard explains how social scientists express and test substantive theoretical arguments in various models. Chapter exercises require application of concepts to actual data and extend students" grasp of core theoretical concepts. Students will complete the book with the ability to read and critique statistical applications in their fields of interest"-- Provided by publisher.

It’s a common thing with social science types, point out their data don’t obey the assumptions of their statistical model and there’s always a standard *correction* they make. There’s not usually any willingness to drill down into the issue any more than that. This book discusses the problem of model choice when the statistical models are separate, also called nonnested. Chapter 1 provides an introduction, motivating examples and a general overview of Author: Kelvyn Jones.

But the information was good if you could deal with the lame drama. There was a long section on the biology of viruses the immune system that was probably the best part of the book.
Sensitivity to the model is apparent in Bayesian inference, but it would arise with any other statistical method as well. For example, Bendavid et al.
(a) used an (incorrectly applied) delta method to propagate uncertainty, but this is problematic when sample size is low and probabilities are near 0 or 1.
Statistical Modeling and Inference for Social Science: Sean Gailmard: Books - Back in I went to a conference of Bayesians and I was disappointed that the vast majority seem to not be interested in checking their statistical models. The attitude seemed to be, first, that model checking was not possible in a Bayesian context, and, second, that model checking was illegitimate because models were subjective.

The book serves as a model for social scientific research. The authors first develop a probabilistic behavioral social choice theory that generalizes deterministic social choice theory, which has dominated thinking in the field.
This alone represents a major contribution. Regenwetter et al. then creatively use survey data to test their by: "This book will revolutionize how applied statistics is taught in statistics and the social and biomedical sciences.
