It also introduces model-based decomposition of inequality over time using quantile regression. This approach enables researchers to estimate two different contributions to changes in inequality between two time points.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClear statistical explanations provide fundamental statistical basis for understanding the new modeling framework\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraightforward empirical examples reinforce statistical knowledge and ready-to-use procedures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiple approaches to assessing inequality are introduced by starting with the basic distributional property and providing connections among approaches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis supplementary text is appropriate for any graduate-level, intermediate, or advanced statistics course across the social and behavioral sciences, as well as individual researchers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SAGE Publications Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54248340914520,"sku":"9781412926294","price":50.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781412926294.jpg?v=1777816869","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/assessing-inequality","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
