This text examines the origins, purposes, methods and pitfalls of
quantitative approaches to history and introduces students to some
of the most commonly used tools and techniques, including
computer-aided research methods.;It situates quantitative history
within the wider realm of, and debates surrounding, historical
methods. It emphasizes the historian's problems of gathering
reliable quantitative evidence and making decisions about suitable
techniques and the acceptability and interpretation of results.
Various methods used in the display and analysis of data are
clearly explained from the formation of various figures, graphs and
tables to regression, time series analysis, sampling theory and
practice, and economic methods.;The book assumes no prior
statistical knowledge and includes a wide range of illustrative
material drawn from current historical research in social, economic
and political history.
