Basic and Applied Studies of Social Statistical Methods

这项拟议中的研究将继续长期支持的工作路线 多年来，这个部门可能生产了 创新发展统计方法， 近40年来的社会科学数据。几种不同 项目将进行或完成，包括一个混合 用于分析数据方差的经典方法通常 由实验导向的行为和社会科学 用图表和其他探索性方法进行研究。另一新 项目将制定系统的治疗设计和 数据模拟分析，长期以来一直是统计学家使用的方法 开发统计工具。三分之一将开发新的 探索性和鲁棒性分析技术（或扩展 技术以前开发的作者）调查研究 数据PI在两个社会中享有最杰出的声誉 科学家和统计学家， 技术和更容易获得的教科书材料， 说明了正在发展的方法。

This proposed research will continue a line of work long supported by this division that has over the years produced probably the most innovative development of statistical methods for making sense of social science data in the last forty years. Several different projects will be undertaken or completed, including one blending classical methods used in analyzing variance in data typically collected by experimentally oriented behavioral and social science research with graphic and other exploratory methods. Another, new project will develop systematic treatment for the design and analysis of data simulations, long a method used by statisticians for developing statistical tools. A third will develop new techniques of exploratory and robustness analysis (or extend techniques previously developed by the authors) to survey research data. The PI has a most distinguished reputation among both social scientists and statisticians because of remarkable production of both technical and more accessible textbook materials describing and illustrating the methods that continue to be developed.
