Comment from the Stata technical group

Quantitative Data Analysis , by Donald J. Treiman, is a well-written demonstration of how to answer questions using statistics. While the preface states that the book is “designed for a course to be taken after a first-year graduate statistics course in the social sciences”, the thought processes and techniques illustrated are useful and interesting to a much wider audience. The range of techniques is broad, ranging from simple advice for making tables readily readable through linear and logistic regression to log-linear and random-effects models.

Treiman writes using clear, precise language. This style makes the book accessible to readers from many fields and especially worthwhile to statistical consultants or others who work with clients of different backgrounds. The book is highly applied—the examples stem from published papers with real datasets. Many of the examples stem from Treiman’s long history of research in applied sociology, yet these examples are still interesting and approachable to those outside the field. The main material is nicely supplemented with “callouts” containing biographical and historical background information, as well as tips on Stata usage. Treiman also takes the time and effort to explain how to avoid common pitfalls of data analysis.

Because this is an applied book, there is little derivation of the mathematics behind the statistical techniques. This is not a drawback, though, because Treiman includes references and a large bibliography, which can be followed by those curious about statistical theory. Stata was used for the computation of all statistical results, and all the Stata do-files (Stata code) and datasets are available from the web. (In the book itself there is advice about how to use Stata for some analyses, but there is no explicit Stata code.)

Quantitative Data Analysis is worth a look for those wanting to see the applications of a wide variety of statistical techniques to a variety of problems or for those who are interested in the thought process behind assessing the results of techniques.

Advance Praise for Quantitative Data Analysis

"This is a first-rate introduction to modern social science research methods by an acknowledged master and brilliant teacher of the art. Treiman simplifies complexity and offers a mountain of practical tips and best practices. Anyone who wants to learn to do modern quantitative social research (and anyone who plans to teach it) has much to gain from this book." — Ross M. Stolzenberg , professor of sociology, University of Chicago

"Packed with examples using interesting data sets, this book doesn't just teach statistics-–it teaches how to use statistics to answer questions about the social world. In simple language, from simple percentage tables to fixed-effects models, including how to do the runs in Stata, and packed with examples from real data on how to make and interpret tables, Treiman shows students how to do the craft they are too often never taught." — Paula England , professor of sociology, Stanford University

"After a distinguished career, Don Treiman shares his trade secrets in this remarkable book, which should be read by everyone wishing to master the art of theoretically informed quantitative research." — Yu Xie , Otis Dudley Duncan Distinguished University Professor of Sociology and Statistics, University of Michigan and coauthor, Statistical Methods for Categorical Data Analysis

"This book captures the wisdom arising from Professor Treiman's many years of data analysis experience. It provides the applied perspective and practical advice that are missing in many books on statistical models." — Kenneth A. Bollen , H. R. Immerwahr Distinguished Professor of Sociology and director, Howard W. Odum Institute for Research in Social Science, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

"There are lots of books on the market that teach statistics. This book, written by a distinguished social scientist, achieves a more ambitious goal; it teaches students how to use statistics to do first-rate quantitative research." — Thomas A. DiPrete , professor of sociology, Columbia University

"Treiman's wealth of teaching and research experience shows in this book. He delivers new insights into familiar methods and gives us tools we need to solve the puzzles that inevitably arise in real research." — Michael Hout , professor of sociology and demography, University of California, Berkeley, and member, National Academy of Sciences

"Having taken Don Treiman's course at UCLA, I highly recommend the book to anyone who wants practical instruction in how survey research is done." — Christine R. Schwartz , assistant professor, Department of Sociology, University of Wisconsin, Madison
