商品描述

With recent advances in computing power and the widespread availability of preference, perception and choice data, such as public opinion surveys and legislative voting, the empirical estimation of spatial models using scaling and ideal point estimation methods has never been more accessible.The second edition of Analyzing Spatial Models of Choice and Judgment demonstrates how to estimate and interpret spatial models with a variety of methods using the open-source programming language R.

Requiring only basic knowledge of R, the book enables social science researchers to apply the methods to their own data. Also suitable for experienced methodologists, it presents the latest methods for modeling the distances between points.

The authors explain the basic theory behind empirical spatial models, then illustrate the estimation technique behind implementing each method, exploring the advantages and limitations while providing visualizations to understand the results.

This second edition updates and expands the methods and software discussed in the first edition, including new coverage of methods for ordinal data and anchoring vignettes in surveys, as well as an entire chapter dedicated to Bayesian methods. The second edition is made easier to use by the inclusion of an R package, which provides all data and functions used in the book.

David A. Armstrong II is Canada Research Chair in Political Methodology and Associate Professor of Political Science at Western University. His research interests include measurement, Democracy and state repressive action.

Ryan Bakker is Reader in Comparative Politics at the University of Essex. His research interests include applied Bayesian modeling, measurement, Western European politics, and EU politics.

Royce Carroll is Professor in Comparative Politics at the University of Essex. His research focuses on measurement of ideology and the comparative politics of legislatures and political parties.

Christopher Hare is Assistant Professor in Political Science at the University of California, Davis. His research focuses on ideology and voting behavior in US politics, political polarization, and measurement.

Keith T. Poole is Philip H. Alston Jr. Distinguished Professor of Political Science at the University of Georgia. His research interests include methodology, US political-economic history, economic growth and entrepreneurship.

Howard Rosenthal is Professor of Politics at NYU and Roger Williams Straus Professor of Social Sciences, Emeritus, at Princeton. Rosenthal's research focuses on political economy, American politics and methodology.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

隨著計算能力的最新進展以及偏好、感知和選擇數據(如公共意見調查和立法投票)的廣泛可用性,使用縮放和理想點估計方法進行空間模型的實證估計變得前所未有的容易。《分析選擇與判斷的空間模型》第二版展示了如何使用開源程式語言 R 來估計和解釋各種方法的空間模型。

該書僅需基本的 R 知識,使社會科學研究者能夠將這些方法應用於自己的數據。對於經驗豐富的方法學家來說,這本書也適用,並介紹了建模點之間距離的最新方法。

作者解釋了實證空間模型背後的基本理論,然後說明了實施每種方法的估計技術,探討其優勢和局限性,同時提供可視化以理解結果。

這一版更新並擴展了第一版中討論的方法和軟體,包括對序數數據和調查中的錨定小插曲方法的新涵蓋,以及專門針對貝葉斯方法的整個章節。第二版通過包含一個 R 套件來簡化使用,該套件提供了書中使用的所有數據和函數。
