Book Description
"Why would a single voter cast a ballot for two public officials from different parties who represent different political philosophies? I explore the aggregate level variables that may influence net split-ticket voting and whether or not a state observes a presidential election years from 1988-2008. This paper examines the expected effects of socioeconomic and candidate characteristic variables on ticket splitting. In particular, this study focuses on whether ticket splitting dynamics in Electoral College battleground states are distinct from those in noncompetitive states. I posit that the substantial amount of attention from presidential candidates in battleground states polarizes voters and contributes to straight ticket voting. The analysis conststs of two sections using linear and logistic regression analysis, respectively, of the following dependent variables: (1) the difference in vote share between the Democratic presidential candidate and the Democrat Senate candidate as a measure of net ticket splitting; (2) the split/not split election outcome observed by a state. Each section consists of two parts: (1) independent variables excluding candidate characteristics; (2) independent variables including Senate candidate characteristics of incumbents. Introducing the Setnate candidate characteristic variables does not have a sizeable expected effect on the vote share difference or ticket outcome. In my multivariate analysis, I find that socioeconomic variables of a state best explain the degree of voter partisanship and, ultimately, the results of the election at the aggregate level."--Abstract.

Book Description
For some years I have felt there was a need for a single, comprehen sive, reference book on exploration geology. Numerous textbooks are available on subjects such as geophysical prospecting, exploration geochemistry, mining geology, photogeology and general economic geology, but, for the geologist working in mineral exploration, who does not require a specialist's knowledge, a general book on explora tion techniques is needed. Many undergraduate university courses tend to neglect economic geology and few deal with the more prac tical aspects in any detail. Graduate geologists embarking on a career in economic geology or mineral exploration are therefore often poorly equipped and have to learn a considerable amount 'on the job'. By providing a book that includes material which can be found in some of the standard texts together with a number of practical aspects not to be found elsewhere, I hope that both recent graduates and more experienced exploration geologists will find it a useful reference work and manual. In addition, students of economic geology and personnel working in related fields in the mining and mineral extraction in dustries will find it informative. J. H. REEDMAN v Acknowledgements The author would like to thank Dr K. Fletcher, geochemist with the Department of Geology, University of British Columbia, and Kari Savario, geophysicist with Finnish Technical Aid to Zambia, for reading the original drafts and offering constructive criticism and advice on the chapters on geochemical and geophysical prospecting respectively.

Helps readers to transition from traditional statistics to modern data science Reviews the pros and cons of open source and commercial software packages, and their proper applications in specific situations. Explores data using dynamic methods rather than counting on dichotomous thinking. Considers alternate models using ensemble models and model comparison rather than fixing a preconceived hypothesis/model on a single method. Shows how to find the hidden pattern in the data by dynamic visualization rather than over-relying on numeric results.

Book Description
In this new and updated volume, the contributors examine the phenomena of presidential swing states in the 2016 presidential election. They explore the reasons why some states and, now counties are the focus of candidate attention, are capable of voting for either of the major candidates, and are decisive in determining who wins the presidency.

Book Description
"[A] careful, nuanced approach in examining the effects of a hurricane on a region’s electoral politics at all levels of government, including localities sometimes neglected by American political science but central to disaster politics."--Political Science Quarterly "Twigg has thoroughly researched. . . . [and] assembled an impressive array of facts by pouring through scholarly documents, books, and back issues of magazines."--Florida Historical Quarterly "A rigorous study of disaster's impact on elected local and state political officials, on their electoral fortunes or misfortunes, and on the local political fabric of impacted jurisdictions."--Richard T. Sylves, George Washington University "A significant contribution to the field of disaster studies."--Naim Kapucu, University of Central Florida From earthquakes to tornados, elected officials' responses to natural disasters can leave an indelible mark on their political careers. In the midst of the 1992 primary season, Hurricane Andrew overwhelmed South Florida, requiring local, state, and federal emergency responses. The work of many politicians in the storm's immediate aftermath led to a curious "incumbency advantage" in the general election a few weeks later, raising the question of just how much the disaster provided opportunities to effectively "campaign without campaigning." David Twigg uses newspaper stories, scholarly articles, and first person interviews to explore the impact of Hurricane Andrew on local and state political incumbents, revealing how elected officials adjusted their strategies and activities in the wake of the disaster. Not only did Andrew give them a legitimate and necessary opportunity to enhance their constituency service and associate themselves with the flow of external assistance, but it also allowed them to achieve significant personal visibility and media coverage while appearing to be non-political or above "normal" politics. This engrossing case study clearly demonstrates why natural disasters often privilege incumbents. Twigg not only sifts through the post-Andrew election results in Florida, but he also points out the possible effects of other past (and future) disaster events on political campaigns in this fascinating and prescient book.
