Identification for Prediction and Decision (9780674026537)



This book is a full-scale exposition of Charles Manski's new methodology for analyzing empirical questions in the social sciences. He recommends that researchers first ask what can be learned from data alone, and then ask what can be learned when data are combined with credible weak assumptions. Inferences predicated on weak assumptions, he argues, can achieve wide consensus, while ones that require strong assumptions almost inevitably are subject to sharp disagreements.

Building on the foundation laid in the author's Identification Problems in the Social Sciences (Harvard, 1995), the book's fifteen chapters are organized in three parts. Part I studies prediction with missing or otherwise incomplete data. Part II concerns the analysis of treatment response, which aims to predict outcomes when alternative treatment rules are applied to a population. Part III studies prediction of choice behavior.

Each chapter juxtaposes developments of methodology with empirical or numerical illustrations. The book employs a simple notation and mathematical apparatus, using only basic elements of probability theory.

Manner fuhren, Frauen folgen? : Geschlechterbeziehungen im echten Leben und im Tango (3746082005)

Die Unterschiede könnten größer kaum sein: Sie ist Krankenschwester, Heilpraktikerin und Illustratorin, er Mathematiker, Autor und pensionierter Redakteur. Dazu sind beide seit langen Jahren dem argentinischen Tango verfallen. Und nun schreiben Manuela Bößel und Peter Ripota auch noch gemeinsam ein Buch - gar zum Thema Geschlechterbeziehungen! Zudem zwei Menschen, die fest, ja manchmal stur zu ihren Überzeugungen stehen ... Kann das gutgehen? Nein. Aber die Dokumente ihres Scheiterns an der alten Menschheitsfrage Passen Männer und Frauen zusammen? sind spannend, witzig und manchmal sogar charmant, ja erhellend. Das Problem ist nur: Viele Leser könnten sich wiedererkennen. Das mag fallweise ernüchtern ... Dieses Buch richtet sich nicht speziell an Tanzende. Der ihnen wohl vertraute Tango liefert den Autoren aber Laborbedingungen zur Lösung der Frage, was eine Beziehung so erhebend oder kaputt macht. Die Auswirkungen im Freiland sind gleichermaßen für alle Frauen, Männer oder Dazwischenl...
