Simply put, Thinking Through Statistics is a primer on how to
maintain rigorous data standards in social science work. But
don’t let that daunt you. With clever examples and witty
takeaways, John Levi Martin proves himself to be a most affable
tour guide through these scholarly waters. Martin lays out the
fundamental vocabulary of sociological statistics—from
probability to null models—and illustrates common pitfalls to
avoid in quantitative research. He encourages readers to hunker
down with the data, using a combination of visual models and
simulations to outline the threats to accuracy and validity in a
conventional researcher’s work. Thinking Through Statistics gives
social science practitioners accessible insight into troves of
wisdom that would normally have to be earned through arduous trial
and error, and it does so with a lighthearted approach that ensures
this field guide is anything but stodgy
