'With careful consideration for both rigor and intuition, Gailmard fills a large void in the social science literature. Those seeking clear mathematical exposition will not be disappointed. Those hoping for substantive applications to illuminate the data analysis will also be pleased. This book strikes a nearly perfect balance.' Wendy K. Tam Cho, National Center for Supercomputing Applications and University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign 'This is the single best book on modeling in social science - it goes beyond any extant book and will without a doubt become the standard text in methods courses throughout the social sciences.' James N. Druckman, Payson S. Wild Professor of Political Science, Northwestern University, Illinois 'In Statistical Modeling and Inference for Social Science, Gailmard provides a complete and well-written review of statistical modeling from the modern perspective of causal inference. It provides all the material necessary for an introduction to quantitative methods for social science students.' Jonathan N. Katz, Kay Sugahara Professor of Social Sciences and Statistics, and Chair, Division of the Humanities and Social Sciences, California Institute of Technology
