Quantitative Data Analysis: Doing Social Research to Test Ideas
“Quantitative Data Analysis, by Donald J. Treiman, is a well-written demonstration of how to answer questions using statistics.    The range of techniques is broad, ranging from simple advice for making tables readily readable through linear and logistic regression to log-linear and random-effects models… Treiman writes using clear, precise language… Treiman also takes the time and effort to explain how to avoid common pitfalls of data analysis…  worth a look for those wanting to see the applications of a wide variety of statistical techniques to a variety of problems or for those who are interested in the thought process behind assessing the results of techniques.”— STATA Bookstore review
