| 505 | 8 | |a This book provides a solution to the ecological inference problem, which has plagued users of statistical methods for over 75 years: How can researchers reliably infer individual-level behavior from aggregate (ecological) data? In political science, this question arises when individual-level surveys are unavailable (for instance, local or comparative electoral politics), unreliable (racial politics), insufficient (political geography), or infeasible (political history). This ecological inference problem also confronts researchers in numerous areas of major significance in public policy, and other academic disciplines, ranging from epidemiology and marketing to sociology and quantitative history. Although many have attempted to make such cross-level inferences, scholars agree that all existing methods yield very inaccurate conclusions about the world. In this volume, Gary King lays out a unique - and reliable - solution to this venerable problem | |

The Likelihood Function This book provides a solution to the ecological inference problem, which has plagued users of statistical methods for over 75 years: How can researchers reliably infer individual-level behavior from aggregate (ecological) data? In political science, this question arises when individual-level surveys are unavailable (for instance, local or comparative electoral politics), unreliable (racial politics), insufficient (political geography), or infeasible (political history). This ecological inference problem also confronts researchers in numerous areas of major significance in public policy, and other academic disciplines, ranging from epidemiology and marketing to sociology and quantitative history. Although many have attempted to make such cross-level inferences, scholars agree that all existing methods yield very inaccurate conclusions about the world. In this volume, Gary King lays out a unique - and reliable - solution to this venerable problem Inferencia Science politique / Méthodes statistiques Inférence (Logique) Aggregatie gtt Politieke wetenschappen gtt Umweltschutz swd Interferenz swd Interferenz (Ökologie) swd POLITICAL SCIENCE / Essays bisacsh POLITICAL SCIENCE / Government / General bisacsh POLITICAL SCIENCE / Government / National bisacsh POLITICAL SCIENCE / Reference bisacsh POLITICAL SCIENCE / History & Theory bisacsh Inference fast Political statistics fast Political statistics Inference Interferenz Ökologie (DE-588)4261387-5 gnd rswk-swf Interferenz (DE-588)4197629-0 gnd rswk-swf Umweltschutz (DE-588)4061644-7 gnd rswk-swf 1\p (DE-588)4056995-0 Statistik gnd-content Umweltschutz (DE-588)4061644-7 s Interferenz (DE-588)4197629-0 s 2\p DE-604 Interferenz Ökologie (DE-588)4261387-5 s 3\p DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe King, Gary, 1958- Solution to the ecological inference problem http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=634984 Aggregator Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
