Statistical simulation and counterfactual analysis in social sciences

Statistical simulation and counterfactual analysis in social sciences

The analysis of quantitative data, and the estimation of regression models in particular, can now be considered commonplace in the social sciences. There are, of course, notable variations in the ways those analyses are generated (research design, estimation methods, etc.). In the same way, there are discrepancies in terms of standards when it comes to the interpretation of the results and thei...

using counterfactual analysis for providing historical explanations in social sciences

counterfactual analysis is concerned with explaining events that have not happened. counterfactuals are mental experiments through which one can reconstruct hypothetical versions of the history in one’s mind; these versions are relatively different from the real history, but provide one with the opportunity to test historical hypotheses against the available evidence. historicist researchers in...

Editorial: Statistical Mechanics and Social Sciences

Statistical physics has proven fruitful for the investigation of the collective dynamics of complex systems, including systems that lie beyond the scope of traditional physics. By leveraging behavioral regularities at the global level, such as averages and distributions, statistical physics can be used to analyze systems with large numbers of components whose individual behavior is highly idios...
