With recent advances in computing power and the widespread
availability of preference, perception and choice data, such as
public opinion surveys and legislative voting, the empirical
estimation of spatial models using scaling and ideal point
estimation methods has never been more accessible.The second
edition of Analyzing Spatial Models of Choice and Judgment
demonstrates how to estimate and interpret spatial models with a
variety of methods using the open-source programming language R.
Requiring only basic knowledge of R, the book enables social
science researchers to apply the methods to their own data. Also
suitable for experienced methodologists, it presents the latest
methods for modeling the distances between points. The authors
explain the basic theory behind empirical spatial models, then
illustrate the estimation technique behind implementing each
method, exploring the advantages and limitations while providing
visualizations to understand the results. This second edition
updates and expands the methods and software discussed in the first
edition, including new coverage of methods for ordinal data and
anchoring vignettes in surveys, as well as an entire chapter
dedicated to Bayesian methods. The second edition is made easier to
use by the inclusion of an R package, which provides all data and
functions used in the book. David A. Armstrong II is Canada
