N2  - "Quantitative social science is a practical introduction to data analysis and statistics written especially for undergraduates and beginning graduate students in the social sciences and allied fields, such as economics, sociology, public policy, and data science. The book engages directly with empirical analysis, showing students how to analyze data using the R programming language and to interpret the results - encouraging hands-on learning, not paper-and-pencil statistics. Examples taken directly from leading quantitative social science research illustrate how data analysis can be used to answer important questions about society and human behavior."--Back cover
