The Effect

An Introduction to Research Design and Causality

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book is about research design, specifically concerning research that uses non-experimental data to figure out whether one thing causes another. It is separated into two halves, each with different approaches to that subject. Concepts are demonstrated with a heavy emphasis on graphical intuition and the question of what we do to data.
