My textbook with Kosuke Imai (@Harvard) is finally out!

Assuming no prior knowledge of statistics or coding and only minimal knowledge of math, DSS teaches the fundamentals of survey research, predictive models, and causal inference + how to analyze real-world data with R.

🧵.. Image 1/n: DSS is meant for complete beginners, regardless of whether they are in high school, in graduate school, or out of school altogether. #rstats #surveys #prediction #causality

DSS or QSS?

That is the question (answered in this tweet).

Both are introductory books to quantitative methods in the social sciences written by Kosuke Imai @Harvard (alone or with co-authors).

Which one is a better fit for you or for your class?

A quick 🧵... Image DSS is meant for complete beginners. It assumes no prior knowledge of statistics or cording and only a minimal background in math.

QSS is meant for students with already some background in statistics and coding.
