My new book 'Data Science in Social Research. An Applied Guide to Statistical and Computational Methods with R' has just been published as part of the De Gruyter Graduate series. It is co-authored by Lena Dahlhaus.
The textbook covers fundamentals and techniques of data management, programming with R, statistical data analysis, descriptive and causal inference, and predictive modeling. The methods are exemplified using real data either from survey research, the social media platform Bluesky or a large digital newspaper archive.
The book is designed for students and researchers in the social sciences.
