CAMBRIDGE, MA—Gary King, distinguished Professor of Government and Director of the Institute for Quantitative Social Science at Harvard University, will once again present his popular daytime advanced quantitative research methodology course to students around the world via the Harvard Extension School's distance education program. This course introduces the theories of inference underlying most statistical methods. It covers how new approaches to research methods, data analysis, and statistical theory are developed. With this foundation, a wide variety of known statistical solutions to a wide range of social science data problems are introduced (and reinvented). Registration is now underway, classes begin online February 2, 2009 and continue through mid-May.
