Authors: Achen, Christopher H.
Publisher: Sage Publications,

Abstract: Achen builds a working philosophy of regression analysis that goes beyond the abstract, unrealistic treatment given in previous texts. He sets out the procedures researchers employ, places them in the framework of statistical theory, and shows how good research takes account of both statistical theory and the demands of the real world.
