Comment/Description

Participation in the Introduction to Quantitative Methods in the first half of the semester is a prerequisite for this course. The specialization seminar provides an applied introduction to the use of quantitative methods in political science and international relations. The primary aim is to enable the independent application of multiple regression analysis. The course also introduces more advanced methods including nonlinear models. Participants will be trained and supported to use the statistical software “R” for data processing, visualization, analysis and reporting. Those with prior experience may choose to complete the class work and assessment using Stata.
