POLS 767 - QUANTITATIVE METHODS

3 cr hrs

Description This course builds upon the material introduced in POLS 765. After a brief review of basic inferential statistics, this course focuses on the classic linear regression model. Coverage of the assumptions, estimation, hypothesis testing, and common violations of the underlying assumptions of regression is provided. Students will be introduced to limited-dependent variable analysis (maximum likelihood) and time-series topics. Statistical packages appropriate for advanced studies in the social and behavioral sciences are utilized. Students will be expected to appropriately apply multivariate regression analysis in a research paper by the conclusion of the course.
