Part of The SAGE Quantitative Research Kit, this text helps you make the crucial steps towards mastering multivariate analysis of social science data, introducing the fundamental linear and non-linear regression models used in quantitative research. Peter Martin covers both the theory and application of statistical models, and illustrates them with illuminating graphs, discussing: • Linear regression, including dummy variables and predictor transformations for curvilinear relationships • Binary, ordinal and multinomial logistic regression models for categorical data • Models for count data, including Poisson, negative binomial, and zero-inflated regression • Checking model assumptions and the dangers of overfitting
