Book Description
Aujourd'hui, avec la formidable disponibilité des données quantitatives et l'accès aux outils d'analyse, il n'y a plus de raison d'ignorer les méthodes quantitatives. Elles doivent devenir, plus qu'avant, une composante essentielle de l'analyse en sciences sociales. Cet ouvrage présente le logiciel R, car il est offert gratuitement, appuyé par une communauté scientifique, accessible sur les principales plateformes et il génère rapidement des graphiques de très haute qualité sous des formats multiples. Pour guider l'apprentissage de ce logiciel, nous adoptons différentes stratégies : • Une approche directe et vulgarisée des notions de statistiques... presque sans formule ; • Des premiers pas jusqu'à l'analyse multivariée ; • Le traitement des données, la production de graphiques ; • Des exemples réels : corruption, mortalité routière, marché immobilier, votes au Congrès américain, élections françaises ; • Une centaine de codes disponibles sur Internet et exécutables en quelques secondes ; • Une réflexion méthodologique et épistémologique pour mieux comprendre les données statistiques. Au fil des pages, nous tenterons de montrer que les précieuses possibilités du logiciel R exigent de leurs utilisateurs qu'ils sortent du périmètre des " chiffres " pour entrer dans des considérations théoriques et qualitatives afin de redonner ensuite un sens aux chiffres.

Quantitative and Statistical Data in Education
Author: Michel Larini
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1786302284
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
This book presents different data collection and representation techniques: elementary descriptive statistics, confirmatory statistics, multivariate approaches and statistical modeling. It exposes the possibility of giving more robustness to the classical methodologies of education sciences by adding a quantitative approach. The fundamentals of each approach and the reasons behind them are methodically analyzed, and both simple and advanced examples are given to demonstrate how to use them. Subsequently, this book can be used both as a course for the uninitiated and as an accompaniment for researchers who are already familiar with these concepts.

Measuring African Development
Author: Morten Jerven
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317552997
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
The chief economist for the World Bank's Africa region, Shanta Devarajan, delivered a devastating assessment of the capacity of African states to measure development in his 2013 article "Africa's Statistical Tragedy". Is there a "statistical tragedy" unfolding in Africa now? If so then examining the roots of the problem of provision of statistics in poor economies is certainly of great importance. This book on measuring African development in the past and in the present draws on the historical experience of colonial French West Africa, Ghana, Sudan, Mauritania and Tanzania and the more contemporary experiences of Ethiopia and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The authors each reflect on the changing ways statistics represent African economies and how they are used to govern them. This bookw as published as a special issue of the Canadian Journal of Development Studies.

The DARPA Model for Transformative Technologies: Perspectives on the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency
Author: William Boone Bonvillian
Publisher: Open Book Publishers
ISBN: 1783747943
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
The authors have done a masterful job of charting the important story of DARPA, one of the key catalysts of technological innovation in US recent history. By plotting the development, achievements and structure of the leading world agency of this kind, this book stimulates new thinking in the field of technological innovation with bearing on how to respond to climate change, pandemics, cyber security and other global problems of our time. The DARPA Model provides a useful guide for governmental agency and policy leaders, and for anybody interested in the role of governments in technological innovation. —Dr. Kent Hughes, Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars This volume contains a remarkable collection of extremely insightful articles on the world’s most successful advanced technology agency. Drafted by the leading US experts on DARPA, it provides a variety of perspectives that in turn benefit from being presented together in a comprehensive volume. It reviews DARPA’s unique role in the U.S. innovation system, as well as the challenges DARPA and its clones face today. As the American model is being considered for adoption by a number of countries worldwide, this book makes a welcome and timely contribution to the policy dialogue on the role played by governments in stimulating technological innovation. — Prof. Charles Wessner, Georgetown University The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has played a remarkable role in the creation new transformative technologies, revolutionizing defense with drones and precision-guided munitions, and transforming civilian life with portable GPS receivers, voice-recognition software, self-driving cars, unmanned aerial vehicles, and, most famously, the ARPANET and its successor, the Internet. Other parts of the U.S. Government and some foreign governments have tried to apply the ‘DARPA model’ to help develop valuable new technologies. But how and why has DARPA succeeded? Which features of its operation and environment contribute to this success? And what lessons does its experience offer for other U.S. agencies and other governments that want to develop and demonstrate their own ‘transformative technologies’? This book is a remarkable collection of leading academic research on DARPA from a wide range of perspectives, combining to chart an important story from the Agency’s founding in the wake of Sputnik, to the current attempts to adapt it to use by other federal agencies. Informative and insightful, this guide is essential reading for political and policy leaders, as well as researchers and students interested in understanding the success of this agency and the lessons it offers to others.
