Title: Monte Carlo Simulation and Resampling Methods for Social Science
Description: Taking the topics of a quantitative methodology course and illustrating them through Monte Carlo simulation, this book examines abstract principles, such as bias, efficiency, and measures of uncertainty in an intuitive, visual way. Instead of thinking in the abstract about what would happen to a particular estimator 'in repeated samples', the book uses simulation to actually create those repeated samples and summarise the results.
