Multimodel Inference
Sociological Methods and Research - Tập 33 Số 2 - Trang 261-304 - 2004
Kenneth P. Burnham, David R. Anderson
The model selection literature has been generally poor at reflecting the deep foundations of the Akaike information criterion (AIC) and at making appropriate comparisons to the Bayesian information criterion (BIC). There is a clear philosophy, a sound criterion based in information theory, and a rigorous statistical foundation for AIC. AIC can be justified as Bayesian using a “savvy” prio...... hiện toàn bộ
Normative Power and Conflict Potential
Sociological Methods and Research - Tập 4 Số 2 - Trang 237-263 - 1975
Jay Jackson
The return potential model for norms and roles is extended to yield concepts and measures of normative power and conflict potential, conceived to be complementary attributes of all normative systems. An input-output energy model is proposed to represent the normative process, without assuming either equilibrium tendencies or ego's motivation to conform. Organized, disorganized, and unorga...... hiện toàn bộ
Snowball Sampling: Problems and Techniques of Chain Referral Sampling
Sociological Methods and Research - Tập 10 Số 2 - Trang 141-163 - 1981
Patrick Biernacki, Dan Waldorf
In spite of the fact that chain referral sampling has been widely used in qualitative sociological research, especially in the study of deviant behavior, the problems and techniques involved in its use have not been adequately explained. The procedures of chain referral sampling are not self-evident or obvious. This article attempts to rectify this methodological neglect. The article prov...... hiện toàn bộ
A SAS Procedure Based on Mixture Models for Estimating Developmental Trajectories
Sociological Methods and Research - Tập 29 Số 3 - Trang 374-393 - 2001
Bobby Jones, Daniel S. Nagin, Kathryn Roeder
This article introduces a new SAS procedure written by the authors that analyzes longitudinal data (developmental trajectories) by fitting a mixture model. The TRAJ procedure fits semiparametric (discrete) mixtures of censored normal, Poisson, zero-inflated Poisson, and Bernoulli distributions to longitudinal data. Applications to psychometric scale data, offense counts, and a dichotomous...... hiện toàn bộ
Alternative Ways of Assessing Model Fit
Sociological Methods and Research - Tập 21 Số 2 - Trang 230-258 - 1992
Michael W. Browne, Robert Cudeck
This article is concerned with measures of fit of a model. Two types of error involved in fitting a model are considered. The first is error of approximation which involves the fit of the model, with optimally chosen but unknown parameter values, to the population covariance matrix. The second is overall error which involves the fit of the model, with parameter values estimated from the s...... hiện toàn bộ
Networks of Interorganizational Relations
Sociological Methods and Research - Tập 22 Số 1 - Trang 46-70 - 1993
Mark S. Mizruchi, Joseph Galaskiewicz
Network analysis has been used extensively in the study of interorganizational relations. This article reviews the literature over the past fifteen years and organizes it into three theoretical traditions: the resource dependence model, the social class framework, and the institutional model. It is shown that network methods have enabled researchers to describe phenomena, such as interorg...... hiện toàn bộ
Sampling Weights and Regression Analysis
Sociological Methods and Research - Tập 23 Số 2 - Trang 230-257 - 1994
Christopher Winship, Larry Radbill
Most major population surveys used by social scientists are based on complex sampling designs where sampling units have different probabilities of being selected. Although sampling weights must generally be used to derive unbiased estimates of univariate population characteristics, the decision about their use in regression analysis is more complicated. Where sampling weights are solely a...... hiện toàn bộ
Talk Is Cheap
Sociological Methods and Research - Tập 43 Số 2 - Trang 178-209 - 2014
Colin Jerolmack, Shamus Khan
This article examines the methodological implications of the fact that what people say is often a poor predictor of what they do. We argue that many interview and survey researchers routinely conflate self-reports with behavior and assume a consistency between attitudes and action. We call this erroneous inference of situated behavior from verbal accounts the attitudinal fallacy. Though i...... hiện toàn bộ
Impact of a Confounding Variable on a Regression Coefficient
Sociological Methods and Research - Tập 29 Số 2 - Trang 147-194 - 2000
Kenneth A. Frank
Regression coefficients cannot be interpreted as causal if the relationship can be attributed to an alternate mechanism. One may control for the alternate cause through an experiment (e.g., with random assignment to treatment and control) or by measuring a corresponding confounding variable and including it in the model. Unfortunately, there are some circumstances under which it is not po...... hiện toàn bộ
Testing for Lagged, Cotemporal, and Total Dependence in Cross-Lagged Panel Analysis
Sociological Methods and Research - Tập 16 Số 2 - Trang 187-217 - 1987
Lawrence S. Mayer, Steven S. Carroll
Panel studies are statistical studies in which two or more variables are observed for two or more subjects at two or more points in time. Cross-lagged panel studies are those studies in which the variables are continuous and divide naturally into two sets. Focus is on estimating and testing the effects, or impacts, of each set of variables on the other. In the regression approach the cros...... hiện toàn bộ
