Advanced Quantitative Methods II (POLS 8501)
This course presents an overview of some regression-based methods widely used in political science today. The course will focus on maximum likelihood estimation of models of various kinds of limited-dependent and qualitative response variables. Specific topics covered include binary logit and probit, multinomial logit and probit, ordered logit and probit, and Poisson and other models for event counts. Students will apply these methods in a series of computer lab exercises as well as original research in their own area of specialization. Have fun!!Download Course Syllabus
