Introduction to Quantitative Methods
This course introduces students to the fundamentals of statistical analysis for the social sciences. We will cover the basics, starting from how we can use statistics to summarize information and describe general patterns of interest to how we can implement predictions or arrive to causal claims.
The topics covered are discussed in numerous course books, and below we list the main ones used in this course. For each class, we point to the main chapters that cover each week’s topics. There will be general (though not always perfect) overlap between the books. Furthermore, we generally refer to the latest edition, and there will of course be overlap with earlier editions in case the latest one is unavailable.
Some of you are relatively new to statistics (we absolutely recommend taking the “Daily preparatory courses on STATA and data analysis”, given in September). Others have more familiarity through previous courses and own work. While the whole course is compulsory, we offer “additional topics” for those who may be familiar with the core topics of each class.
