Quantitative Applications in the Social Sciences (QASS)
UNDERSTANDING REGRESSION ANALYSIS: An Introductory Guide
SECOND EDITION, VOLUME 57
Larry D. Schroeder, Syracuse University • David L. Sjoquist, Georgia State University • Paula E. Stephan,
Georgia State University
Providing a non-technical explanation of linear regression analysis, its meaning and uses, this revised Second Edition
illustrates how regression coeffi cients are estimated, how they are interpreted, and how they are used in a variety of settings
within the social sciences, business, law, and public policy. Packed with applied examples and using few equations or
specialized jargon, the book walks readers through elementary material using a verbal, intuitive interpretation of regression
coeffi cients, associated statistics, and hypothesis tests. The Second Edition has been updated throughout and features all-
new examples and new references to modern software output.

UPDATED EDITION OF BEST SELLER
APPLIED REGRESSION: An Introduction SECOND EDITION, VOLUME 22
Colin Lewis-Beck, Iowa State University • Michael Lewis-Beck, The University of Iowa
Known for its readability and clarity, this Second Edition of the best-selling Applied Regression provides an accessible
introduction to regression analysis for social scientists and other professionals who want to model quantitative data. After
covering the basic idea of fi tting a straight line to a scatter of data points, the text uses clear language to explain both
the mathematics and assumptions behind the simple linear regression model. The authors then cover more specialized
subjects of regression analysis, such as multiple regression, measures of model fi t, analysis of residuals, interaction effects,
multicollinearity, and prediction. Throughout the text, graphical and applied examples help explain and demonstrate the
power and broad applicability of regression analysis for answering scientifi c questions.
CONTENTS 1. Bivariate Regression: Fitting a Straight Line / 2. Bivariate Regression: Assumptions and Inferences / 3. Multiple Regression: The Basics / 4.

RANDOMIZED RESPONSE AND RELATED METHODS: Surveying Sensitive Data
SECOND EDITION, VOLUME 58
James Alan Fox, Northeastern University
Randomized response is a data collection strategy specifi cally designed for surveys of a sensitive nature. By establishing
a probabilistic connection between question and answer, randomized response and related methods protect respondents
who are asked to disclose personal information. Covering a half century of theoretical and applied research, the Second
Edition signifi cantly updates and expands what was, at the time, the fi rst comprehensive and practical guide to randomized
response.
CONTENTS 1. Surveying Sensitive Topics / 2. The Randomized Response Technique / 3. Design Considerations in Randomized Response / 4. Alternatives
to Randomized Response / 5. Extensions of Randomized Response / 6. Analyzing Randomized Response Data / 7. Applications of Randomized Response
Methods / 8. Epilogue
