Data Analysis Using Regression and Multilevel/Hierarchical Models (Analytical Methods for Social Research) 1st Edition, Kindle Edition
Amazon Price | New from | Used from |
Data Analysis Using Regression and Multilevel/Hierarchical Models, first published in 2007, is a comprehensive manual for the applied researcher who wants to perform data analysis using linear and nonlinear regression and multilevel models. The book introduces a wide variety of models, whilst at the same time instructing the reader in how to fit these models using available software packages. The book illustrates the concepts by working through scores of real data examples that have arisen from the authors' own applied research, with programming codes provided for each one. Topics covered include causal inference, including regression, poststratification, matching, regression discontinuity, and instrumental variables, as well as multilevel logistic regression and missing-data imputation. Practical tips regarding building, fitting, and understanding are provided throughout.

Product description
Review
"Data Analysis Using Regression and Multilevel/Hierarchical Models ... careful yet mathematically accessible style is generously illustrated with examples and graphical displays, making it ideal for either classroom use or self-study. It appears destined to adorn the shelves of a great many applied statisticians and social scientists for years to come."
Brad Carlin, University of Minnesota
"Gelman and Hill have written what may be the first truly modern book on modeling. Containing practical as well as methodological insights into both Bayesian and traditional approaches, Data Analysis Using Regression and Multilevel/Hierarchical Models provides useful guidance into the process of building and evaluating models. For the social scientist and other applied statisticians interested in linear and logistic regression, causal inference, and hierarchical models, it should prove invaluable either as a classroom text or as an addition to the research bookshelf."
Richard De Veaux, Williams College
"The theme of Gelman and Hill's engaging and nontechnical introduction to statistical modeling is 'Be flexible.' Using a broad array of examples written in R and WinBugs, the authors illustrate the many ways in which readers can build more flexibility into their predictive and causal models. This hands-on textbook is sure to become a popular choice in applied regression courses."
Donald Green, Yale University
"Simply put, Data Analysis Using Regression and Multilevel/Hierarchical Models is the best place to learn how to do serious empirical research. Gelman and Hill have written a much needed book that is sophisticated about research design without being technical. Data Analysis Using Regression and Multilevel/Hierarchical Models is destined to be a classic!"
Alex Tabarrok, George Mason University
"a detailed, carefully written exposition of the modelling challenge, using numerous convincing examples, and always paying careful attention to the practical aspects of modeling. I recommend it very warmly."
Journal of Applied Statistics
"Gelman and Hill's book is an excellent intermediate text that would be very useful for researchers interested in multilevel modeling... This book gives a wealth of information for anyone interested in multilevel modeling and seems destined to be a classic."
Brandon K. Vaughn, Journal of Eductional Measurement
"With their new book, Data Analysis Using Regression and Multilevel/Hierarchical Models, Drs. Gelman and Hill have raised the bar for what a book on applied statistical modeling should seek to accomplish. The book is extraordinarily broad in scope, modern in its approach and philosophy, and ambitious in its goals... I am tremendously impressed with this book and highly recommend it. Data Analysis Using Regression and Multilevel/Hierarchical Models deserves to be widely read by applied statisticians and practicing researchers, especially in the social sciences. Instructors considering textbooks for courses on the practice of statistical modeling should move this book to the top of their list."
Daniel B. Hall, Journal of the American Statistical Association
"Data Analysis Using Regression and Multilevel/Hierarchical Models is the book I wish I had in graduate school."

Excellent book, covers all of the bases for mixed effect models, Bayesian modelling in Bugs and even general statistical concepts and pointers. Intermediate-advanced but in addition to being very thorough it's well written and not excessively technical.

Cover a lot of material in a clear and accessible style. It has a lot of code, maybe too much of it.

The book arrived in time and in very good conditions. It is a good reference, just be sure that the content you look for is really that. I suggest also take a look at Gelman et al.'s book Bayesian Data Anlysis.

Good to start but some bad things
Reviewed in Spain 🇪🇸 on May 9, 2020Verified Purchase
It's a good book, that's something that I have to say, but it's true that it would be perfect if all the examples that appeared in the book were more easily copied because even though there is online support where you have all the codes and the databases, you don't really know which one is using, so sometimes is confusion. And the worst of all is that all the exercises at the end of the book come without the answers so you don't know if you are doing it right or wrong.

Comprehensible and very didactic
Reviewed in Spain 🇪🇸 on December 30, 2012Verified Purchase
This book walks you through regression models one step at a time, starting from the very basics of classical regression, thus making it easy to follow. It presents a lot of examples that are accessible to public from any scholarly discipline, and offers tips and ready-to-use code for the statistical package R. The book focuses on methodological caveats to bear in mind in research design and result interpretation. Ideal for anybody who wants to study and model relationships between variables, whether causal or not.

This an excelent book for getting the concepts behind fitting "standard" and multilevel models without diving directly into equations. Perfect for biologists unfamiliar with math like me.
