Ecological Inference: New Methodological Strategies

orig.wrappers Minor rubbing. VG. 23x15cm, x,421 pp., PAPERBACK. "Drawing upon the recent explosion of research in the field, a diverse group of scholars surveys the latest strategies for solving ecological inference problems, the process of trying to infer individual behavior from aggregate data. The uncertainties and information lost in aggregation make ecological inference one of the most difficult areas of statistical inference, but these inferences are required in many academic fields, as well as by legislatures and the Courts in redistricting, marketing research by business, and policy analysis by governments. This wide- ranging collection of essays offers many fresh and important contributions to the study of ecological inference" - Publisher's description.
