Descrizione del libro

The last decade and a half has witnessed an explosion of research in ecological inference, the process of trying to infer individual behavior from aggregate data. This book, first published in 2004, brings together a diverse group of scholars to survey methodological strategies for solving ecological inference problems in various fields.
