The book focuses on regression methods for cross-sectional and longitudinal data with an emphasis on causal analysis. Additionally, newer methods are introduced, including sample selection models, complex samples and propensity score matching. With contributions from leading European social scientists, the book includes chapters on: Bayesain methods in regression Linear regression Regression with complex samples Multi-level analysis Logistic Regression- Causal analysis with panel data Event history analysis Each section of the book starts with a section with a non-mathematical introduction to the method covered in that section, giving readers a basic knowledge of the method’s logic, scope and unique features. Next, the mathematical and statistical basis of each method is presented along with advanced aspects. A key feature of the book is the comprehensive discussion of each method’s application, shown though examples using real-world data from the European Social Survey (ESS) and the Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP).
