Regression Inside Out

Reviews / Votes

'A book of wisdom and insight that will lead even seasoned quantitative researchers to have a deeper grasp of their own methods, provides a continual stream of 'ah-ha!' experiences, and a bold argument about how to go forwards. Not to be missed!' John Levi Martin, Professor, Department of Sociology, University of Chicago 'This outstanding book represents a principled way of taking the ideas we're used to and helping us answer the questions we really want to answer - rather than the ones we think we can answer. It brings a deeply sociological lens to a 'basic' tool in a way that will help push substantive thinking in quantitative methods.' James Moody, Robert O. Keohane Professor of Sociology, Duke University 'Regression Inside Out ingeniously takes us under the hood of regression models to show how much more we can learn from them when we think relationally and consider cases and variables as co-constitutive for their outputs. Not only does it elegantly enhance our toolkits, it also brilliantly builds bridges between seemingly disparate methodological approaches. This theoretically deep yet very accessible book is an absolute must-read for anyone conducting regression analysis and for anyone thinking about multi-method research.' Sophie Muetzel, Professor of Sociology, University of Lucerne, Switzerland '[T]his text combines ingenuous ideas, uncompromising rigor, and intuitive accessibility. I highly recommend this book to data analysts and statistical practitioners. Its innovative approach and rigorous analysis offer valuable insights that can transform how we interpret regression models.' Jun Xu, Social Forces
