Design of Observational Studies by Paul R. Rosenbaum
English | PDF | 2010 | 232 Pages | ISBN : 1461424860 | 2.3 MB

An observational study is an empiric investigation of effects caused by treatments when randomized experimentation is unethical or infeasible. Observational studies are common in most fields that study the effects of treatments on people, including medicine, economics, epidemiology, education, psychology, political science and sociology. The quality and strength of evidence provided by an observational study is determined largely by its design. Design of Observational Studies is both an introduction to statistical inference in observational studies and a detailed discussion of the principles that guide the design of observational studies.

Auch alle neueren Theorien lassen sich den entsprechenden Grundrichtungen, Objektivismus, Subjektivismus und Relationalismus, zuordnen. Dies wird anhand verschiedener Beispiele kurz erläutert.

Indirect Sampling

Indirect Sampling by Pierre Lavallée
English | PDF (True) | 2007 | 256 Pages | ISBN : 0387707786 | 11.67 MB

Following the classical sampling theory, the survey statistician selects samples of people, businesses or others, in order to obtain the desired information. Drawing the samples is usually done by randomly selecting from a list representing the target population. In practice, this list is often not available. At best, the statistician only has access to a different list, indirectly related to the targeted population.

Research is defined by the Australian Research Council as “the creation of new knowledge and/or the use of existing knowledge in a new and creative way so as to generate new concepts, methodologies, inventions and understandings”. Research is thus the foundation for knowledge. It produces evidence and informs actions that can provide wider benefit to a society.

The Discursive Interview: Method and Methodological Foundation

The Discursive Interview: Method and Methodological Foundation by Carsten G. Ullrich
English | EPUB | 2022 | 183 Pages | ISBN : 365838476X | 0.4 MB

This book deals with the Discursive Interview, a qualitative interview method originally developed for the recording and reconstruction of collective representations. The central methodological assumptions are explained and all methodological steps of this comprehensive research method are outlined. Particular emphasis is placed on the role of questions and questioning techniques, because these are of central importance for uncovering collective representations.

Maize Cobs and Cultures: History of Zea mays L.

Maize Cobs and Cultures: History of Zea mays L. by John Staller
English | PDF | 2010 | 266 Pages | ISBN : 3642045057 | 6.3 MB

Our perceptions and conceptions regarding the roles and importance of maize to ancient economies is largely a product of scientific research on the plant itself, developed for the most part out of botanical research, and its recent role as one of the most important economic staples in the world. Anthropological research in the early part of the last century based largely upon the historical particularistic approach of the Boasian tradition provided the first evidence that challenged the assumptions about the economic importance of maize to sociocultural developments for scholars of prehistory. Subsequent ethnobotanic and archaeological studies showed that the role of maize among Native American cultures was much more complex than just as a food staple.

Statistical Learning from a Regression Perspective

Statistical Learning from a Regression Perspective by Richard A. Berk
English | PDF(True) | 2016 | 364 Pages | ISBN : 3319829696 | 7.9 MB

This textbook considers statistical learning applications when interest centers on the conditional distribution of the response variable, given a set of predictors, and when it is important to characterize how the predictors are related to the response. As a first approximation, this can be seen as an extension of nonparametric regression.

Travel Behavior Characteristics Analysis Technology Based on Mobile Phone Location Data Methodology: and Empirical Research by Fei Yang, Zhenxing Yao
English | EPUB | 2022 | 235 Pages | ISBN : 9811680078 | 79.6 MB

This book is devoted to the technology and methodology of individual travel behavior analysis and refined travel information extraction. Traditional resident trip surveys are characterized by many shortcomings, such as subjective memory errors, difficulty in organization and high cost. Therefore, in this book, a set of refined extraction and analysis techniques for individual travel activities is proposed. It provides a solid foundation for the optimization and reconstruction of traffic theoretical models, urban traffic planning, management and decision-making.

Applied Panel Data Analysis for Economic and Social Surveys by Hans-Jürgen Andreß, Katrin Golsch, Alexander W. Schmidt
English | PDF | 2013 | 337 Pages | ISBN : 3642329136 | 3.5 MB

Many economic and social surveys are designed as panel studies, which provide important data for describing social changes and testing causal relations between social phenomena. This textbook shows how to manage, describe, and model these kinds of data. It presents models for continuous and categorical dependent variables, focusing either on the level of these variables at different points in time or on their change over time.

Die Ästhetik medialer Landschaftskonstrukte: Theoretische Reflexionen und empirische Befunde by Simone Ines Linke
Deutsch | PDF | 2019 | 336 Pages | ISBN : 3658258721 | 13.3 MB

Simone Ines Linke beschreibt die stereotype und stark ästhetisierte Konstruktion medialer Landschaften und geht darauf ein, welche gesellschaftlichen Auswirkungen damit verbunden sind. Die Autorin zieht geographische, philosophische und soziologische Perspektiven heran und zeigt, dass mediale Landschaftskonstrukte teils auffällig bearbeitet und selektiert werden. Darüber hinaus unterscheiden sie sich auch deutlich von vorgefundenen Landschaftskonstrukten. Da mediale Darstellungen auch eine sozialisierende Funktion einnehmen, können diese Bilder zu einem Akzeptanzproblem in Bezug auf beispielsweise neue Energielandschaften führen.

Strategisches Framing: Eine Einführung

Strategisches Framing: Eine Einführung by Michael Oswald
Deutsch | PDF | 2019 | 200 Pages | ISBN : 3658242833 | 1.8 MB

In der Politischen Kommunikation sind Frames allgegenwärtig, da die politische Realität oft spezifisch konstruiert wird. Kommunikatoren setzen dabei ihre Information in einen bestimmten Deutungsrahmen, um gewisse Stimmungen zu verbreiten. Sie ‚framen‘ damit das Thema gezielt und wollen so die Debatte um die jeweilige Angelegenheit leiten oder zumindest mitbestimmen. Dieses Lehrbuch bietet eine Einführung in das Verständnis von Frames und Framing-Strategien, es liefert eine Übersicht der Inhalte der vielfältigen und breitgefächerten Framing-Forschung sowie eine Grundlage für das wissenschaftliche Arbeiten mit Frames.

Basic Principles of Structural Equation Modeling: An Introduction to LISREL and EQS by Ralph O. Mueller
English | PDF | 1996 | 252 Pages | ISBN : 0387945164 | 27.3 MB

During the last two decades, structural equation modeling (SEM) has emerged as a powerful multivariate data analysis tool in social science research settings, especially in the fields of sociology, psychology, and education. Although its roots can be traced back to the first half of this century, when Spearman (1904) developed factor analysis and Wright (1934) introduced path analysis, it was not until the 1970s that the works by Karl Joreskog and his associates (e. g. , Joreskog, 1977; Joreskog and Van Thillo, 1973) began to make general SEM techniques accessible to the social and behavioral science research communities.
