{"product_id":"multiple-correspondence-analysis-for-the-social-sciences","title":"Multiple Correspondence Analysis for the Social Sciences","description":"\u003cp\u003eMultiple correspondence analysis (MCA) is a statistical technique that first and foremost has become known through the work of the late Pierre Bourdieu (1930-2002). This book will introduce readers to the fundamental properties, procedures and rules of interpretation of the most commonly used forms of correspondence analysis. The book is written as a non-technical introduction, intended for the advanced undergraduate level and onwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMCA represents and models data sets as clouds of points in a multidimensional Euclidean space. The interpretation of the data is based on these clouds of points. In seven chapters, this non-technical book will provide the reader with a comprehensive introduction and the needed knowledge to do analyses on his\/her own: CA, MCA, specific MCA, the integration of MCA and variance analysis, of MCA and ascending hierarchical cluster analysis and class-specific MCA on subgroups. Special attention will be given to the construction of social spaces, to the construction of typologies and to group internal oppositions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a book on data analysis for the social sciences rather than a book on statistics. The main emphasis is on how to apply MCA to the analysis of practical research questions. It does not require a solid understanding of statistics and\/or mathematics, and provides the reader with the needed knowledge to do analyses on his\/her own.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53526170960239,"sku":"9781138699717","price":389.19,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/9384\/9711\/files\/1138699713.jpg?v=1790311216","url":"https:\/\/internacional.umlivro.com.br\/products\/multiple-correspondence-analysis-for-the-social-sciences","provider":"UmLivro Internacional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
