Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Elections are random events.From individuals deciding whether to vote, to individuals deciding who to vote for, to election authorities deciding what to count, the outcomes of competitive democratic elections are rarely known until election day or beyond. Understanding Elections through Statistics explores this random phenomenon from three primary points of view: predicting the election outcome using opinion polls, testing the election outcome using government-reported data, and exploring election data to better understand the people.Written for those with only a brief introduction to statistics, this book takes you on a statistical journey from how polls are taken to how they canand shouldbe used to estimate current popular opinion. Once an understanding of the election process is built, we turn toward testing elections for evidence of unfairness. While holding elections has become the de facto proof of government legitimacy, those electoral processes may hide the dirty little secret of the government, illicitly ensuring a favorable election outcome.This book includes these features designed to make your statistical journey more enjoyable:Vignettes of elections, including maps, starting each chapter to motivate the material In-chapter cues to help one avoid the heavy mathor to focus on itEnd-of-chapter problems designed to review and extend what was covered in the chapterMany opportunities to turn the power of the R Statistical Environment to the enclosed election data files, as well as to those you find interestingThe second edition improves upon this and includes:A rewrite of several chapters to make the underlying concepts more clearA chapter dedicated to confidence intervals, what they mean, and what they do notAdditional experiments to help you better understand the statistics of electionsA new introduction to polling, its terms, its processes, and its ethicsFrom these features, it is clear that the audience for this book is quite diverse. It provides the statistics and mathematics for those interested in statistics and mathematics, but it also provides detours for those who just want a good read and a deeper understanding of elections. Regarding elections and polls, it explores this random phenomenon from three primary points of view: predicting election outcome using opinion polls, testing outcome using government-reported data, and exploring election data to better understand the people.
