Unlike books that focus solely on applying quantitative methods to sociological and social science data, this book includes in-depth methodological discussions that highlight the interplay between sociological theory and data analysis. With expertise in sociology, psychology, social statistics, and survey methods and data collection, researchers in quantitative social science have developed extended, improved methods such as multivariate statistical analysis, survey methods, cluster analysis, multidimensional scaling, correspondence analysis, latent state model, network analysis, and other means tailored for cross-sectional, longitudinal, compositional, and network data to contribute to solving society's greatest challenges. The purpose of the book is twofold. One is to represent studies focusing on new directions in statistical analysis of sociological and social science data. These new directions may include novel theoretical paradigms, developing topical areas of research, innovative methodologies, and/or substantive findings that explore social processes. The other is to offer the most appropriate models and methods for explaining social phenomena and their underlying structures with the goal of discovering useful information, drawing conclusions, and supporting decision-making. The methodological discussions empower researchers to make informed decisions about research design, data collection, and analysis, enhancing the quality and validity of their sociological inquiries. 410 0$aBehaviormetrics: Quantitative Approaches to Human Behavior,$x2524-4035 ;$v20 606 $aSocial sciences$xStatistical methods 606 $aStatistics 606 $aLabor economics 606 $aSocial policy 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aEconomics 606 $aCulture 606 $aStatistics in Social Sciences, Humanities, Law, Education, Behavorial Sciences, Public Policy 606 $aStatistics in Business, Management, Economics, Finance, Insurance 606 $aLabor Economics 606 $aSocial Policy 606 $aPolitical Science 606 $aCultural Economics 615 0$aSocial sciences$xStatistical methods. 615 0$aStatistics. 615 0$aLabor economics. 615 0$aSocial policy. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aEconomics. 615 0$aCulture. 615 14$aStatistics in Social Sciences, Humanities, Law, Education, Behavorial Sciences, Public Policy. 615 24$aStatistics in Business, Management, Economics, Finance, Insurance. 615 24$aLabor Economics. 615 24$aSocial Policy. 615 24$aPolitical Science. 615 24$aCultural Economics. 676 $a300.727 700 $aNakai$b Miki$01831912 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911011818403321 996 $aAdvances in Quantitative Approaches to Sociological Issues$94404898 997 $aUNINA
