Prerequisites
SOUHLAS
Reasonable exposure to OLS regression and multi-purpose statistical software (such as STATA). Students should complete SOC662, or SOC591, or SOC660 (quantitative variant), or equivalent, prior to enrolling in SOC561. Solid knowledge of English is necessary - some lectures/seminars may be presented by an English-speaking guest lecturer

Course objectives
This course introduces students into the filed of qualitative dependent-variable models (such as binary and polynomial logistic regression).
Learning outcomes
Students will be able to independently utilize categorical-dependent variable models in their own, theoretically-driven quantitative data analyses. They will be able to identify a proper analytical tool for a given substantive problem/available data, set up the data, carry out the analysis, evaluate, present and interpret the results.
Syllabus
