GRAD 6101 - Linear Regression
Linear regression models, and the ordinary least squares (OLS) estimators that are often used to estimate them, are robust tools employed by social scientists to both explain and predict social phenomena. Moreover, basic linear regression and OLS are part of the foundation one must have to understand more sophisticated variants of the linear model (e.g., time series, structural equations), as well as non-linear models (e.g., logistic regression, multinomial logit, Poisson regression). As such, the class has two primary purposes: 1) conveying a basic understanding of the linear regression model so that students are able to both employ the technique in their own research and comprehend research employing the technique; and 2) provide a strong foundation in the underlying model such that they will have little difficulty in future classes that move beyond the OLS framework.

GRAD 6102 - Categorical Outcomes
While linear models like ordinary least squares regression are robust and useful, they are only applicable when your dependent variable is continuous and uncensored. Unfortunately, social scientists often want to explain phenomena that are “limited” in that they are not continuous and/or uncensored. Fortunately, there are alternative estimation techniques for analyzing most models with non-continuous (e.g., dichotomous, nominal, ordinal) and/or censored (e.g., event count or event history) dependent variables. A variety of techniques are examined for estimating models with “limited” dependent variables.
