For each model, estimations, interpretations, model fit, diagnostics, and how to convey results graphically are provided. There is a focus on graphic displays of results as these are a core strength of using R for statistical analysis. Many in the social sciences are transitioning away from using Stata, SPSS and SAS, to using R, and this book uses statistical models which are relevant to the social sciences. \u003ci\u003eSocial Science Applications of Regression for Categorical Outcomes Using R\u003c\/i\u003e will be useful for graduate students in the social sciences who are looking to expand their statistical knowledge, and for Quantitative social scientists due to it's ability to act as a practitioners guide. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKey Features: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplied- in the sense that we will provide code that others can easily adapt \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible- R is basically just a fancy calculator.
