Regression Analysis and the Sociological Imagination
De Maio, Fernando
Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, v36 n2 p52-57 Sum 2014
Regression analysis is an important aspect of most introductory statistics courses in sociology but is often presented in contexts divorced from the central concerns that bring students into the discipline. Consequently, we present five lesson ideas that emerge from a regression analysis of income inequality and mortality in the USA and Canada.
