Modern Methods of Data Analysis
John Fox, J Scott Long

Sage Publications, Inc, 1990

Regression Models for Categorical Dependent Variables Using Stata, Second Edition

2 reviews
J. Scott Long, Jeremy Freese

Stata Press, 2005

Very good book on how to do categorical analysis using Stata
This is a very good book on how to do econometrics on limited dependent variables using Stata. The author also has another book with more theories if you need. A lot of different models (e.g., logit, probit, ordinal, multinomial, and count data) are illustrated and Stata codes are provided. It's an excellent book for applied econometrians. The only thing that is very important but not covered in ...

Common Problems/Proper Solutions: Avoiding Error in Quantitative Research (SAGE Focus Editions)
J Scott Long

Sage Publications, Inc, 1988

Extremely good book on Logistic Regression
Since I do statistical modeling in industry, I was looking for a good book on Logistic regression that would give me a deep understanding of the subject; one that also had wide coverage (Poison regression, Tobit models, ..etc.). I decided on J. Scott Long's book, after considering Applied Logistic Regression by Hosmer and Lemeshow, and Limited Dependent and Qualitative Variables in Econometrics ...

The Renovare Spiritual Formation Bible (Protestant Edition)

18 reviews
Inc. Renovare, Richard J. Foster, ...

Harper San Francisco, 2006

What a pleaure
Having this provides one with a fine translation and solid opportunity for interpretation and application. I was leary about the last part, since often that can be sappy. Not so here. Selecting a Bible is hard. I have decided that for me, a hard bound book is best and worth any extra cost. Get one like this and add tabs. It is one big book. Shortcoming: No index. But with so much ...

Confirmatory Factor Analysis: A Preface to LISREL (Quantitative Applications in the Social Sciences)
J Scott Long

Sage Publications, Inc, 1983

Demonstrates how to use confirmatory factor analysis--a model that allows researchers to specify the relationships among observed and latent variables on the basis of substantive considerations rather than mathematical convenience.

Covariance Structure Models: An Introduction to LISREL (Quantitative Applications in the Social Sciences)
J Scott Long

Sage Publications, Inc, 1983

Building directly on confirmatory factor analysis, Long presents a measurement model (drawn from psychometrics) and a structural equation model (drawn from econometrics) that, together, comprise the LISREL covariance structure model.

Testing Structural Equation Models (SAGE Focus Editions)

1 review

Sage Publications, Inc, 1993

Essential collection, with some landmark pieces
A very important work in the recent development of structural equation modeling. You can find these articles published in Sociological Methods and Research, but the text is not identical--and some of the material in this volume is really essential.
