Courses

The purpose of this course is to introduce statistical analyses with categorical independent variables and statistical measurement methodology. Throughout the semester students will learn basic concepts of quantitative political data analysis such as logit/probit, ordered/multinomial logit, survival models, factor analysis, roll-call vote analysis, and quantitative text analysis methods such as Wordfish and Wordscore. In addition to the theoretical backgrounds of such topics, students will learn how to apply them in statistical software, R, during weekly sections. Students are expected to attend not only the lectures but also these weekly sections.
