	Complex Systems Models in the Social Sciences Kenneth Kollman, Political Science, University of Michigan, ... The nonlinear dynamics exhibited by complex systems often pose difficult problems for modelers of those systems, especially when the complex systems are adaptive. The growing availability of computers has led to a ...	2009-02-09

	Data Mining (Hubert M. Blalock Memorial Lecture Series) Robert Stine, Business Administration, University of ... In many cases, the prevalence of large amounts of data allows computational methods to construct predictive models of behavior. Sometimes data mining produces models that are interpretable, sometimes not. These four ...	2009-02-10

	Introduction to Game Theory Dimitri Landa, Political Science, New York University This workshop introduces students to one of the most important areas of decision theory, the analysis of strategic choice. The fundamental concepts of rational choice will be thoroughly explained and integrated into a ...	2009-02-09

	Introduction to Statistics and Data Analysis II Andres Martinez, Education, University of Michigan This course is a continuation of Introduction to Statistics and Data Analysis I, and that course or its equivalent is a prerequisite. Course content will include the study of regression, correlation, and analysis of ...	2009-02-09

	Introduction to the R Statistical Computing Environment David Armstrong, Political Science, University of Oxford The statistical programming language and computing environment S has become the de facto standard among statisticians. The S language has two major implementations: the commercial product S-PLUS, and the free, open- ...	2009-04-01

	Mathematics for Social Scientists II Howard Thompson, Mathematics, Spring Arbor University An understanding of mathematical ideas at the level of ICPSR's course in Mathematics for Social Scientists I is a prerequisite for this course. This four-week series of lectures will focus on various mathematical ...	2009-02-09

	Missing Data: Statistical Analysis of Data with Incomplete Observations (Hubert M. Blalock ... Trivellore Raghunathan, Biostatistics, University of Michigan Missing data is a pervasive problem in almost all empirical scientific investigations involving human populations. Still, many statistical methods have been, and continue to be, developed for rectangular or complete ...	2009-02-18

	New Tools for Regression Analysis: Dimension Reduction and Inverse Regression Sanford Weisberg, Statistics, University of Minnesota Dimension reduction in regression takes one of two forms: variable selection, in which predictors are dropped, and variable combination, in which predictors are combined into indices thereby reducing dimension. The ...	2009-03-23

	Programming in R John Fox, Sociology, McMaster University The S statistical programming language and computing environment has become the de-facto standard among statisticians and has made substantial inroads in the social sciences. A statistical software "package," such as ...	2009-04-01

	Rational Choice Theories of Politics and Society James Johnson, Political Science, University of Rochester "Rational choice theory" actually consists of a set of theories, usually but not always mathematical, that investigate the ways that actions taken by rational individual decision-makers can interact in often surprising ...	2009-02-09
