A Guide to Quantitative History

This book introduces statistical techniques for the particular needs of historians. The approach is practical and applied; alternative ways of resolving methodological problems are worked through. The emphasis is on applying the fundamentals of statistical theory to the specific research interests of historians and available historical sources. A special feature of the book is a discussion of the historical evolution of statistical techniques as a means of understanding their current applications and interpretations.Richard Rohrs is the author of 'A Guide to Quantitative History', published 1995 under ISBN 9780275948979 and ISBN 0275948978.
