Riassunto:

Berry and Feldman provide a systematic treatment of many of the major problems encountered in using regression analysis. Since it is likely that one or more of the assumptions of the regression model will be violated in a specific empirical analysis, the ability to know when problems exist and when to take appropriate action helps to ensure the proper use of the procedure.The authors discuss: the consequences of violating the assumptions of the regression model; procedures for detecting when such violations occur; and strategies for dealing with these problems when they arise.The monograph was written without the use of matrix algebra, in order to make it more accessible. Notation used is consistent with SAGE's Applied Regression(QASS 22), and numerous examples are provided from political science, sociology, and economics.

Informazioni sugli autori: Ph.D., University of Minnesota, 1980. Major research and teaching interests include public policy, budgeting, state politics and research methodology. Berry’s primary areas of interest are public policy, American state politics, and research methodology. Throughout his career, his work has focused on explaining why governments make the policy choices they do, and improving the methodologies available for studying policy making. Among his current research projects are analyses of the impact of electoral competition on the policy choices made by state legislators, and the effect of state welfare policy on poverty in the United States. Berry’s current research on methodology focuses on the development of techniques for estimating econometric models with binary dependent variables, and methods for studying policy diffusion using geographical information systems. Berry has also been working for several years collecting data on outcomes of all state legislative elections in the U.S. since the 1960s; he has begun to use these data to study the behavior of challengers in state legislative elections, and the role of partisan and incumbent protection goals in determining the nature of redistricting in state legislatures.

Areas of Interest:
Political Behavior: political psychology and socialization; political ideology and values; prejudice and intolerance; public opinion; political participation; political sociology.
Methodology: statistics; econometrics; measurement theory and scaling; analysis of covariance structures; multivariate methods; survey research methods; logic of inquiry and research design.
