Intro to Political Research
Statistical modeling is a mathematical framework used to represent real-world processes through statistical assumptions and relationships between variables. This approach allows researchers to analyze and predict outcomes by fitting data to theoretical models, which can help identify trends, relationships, and causal effects in complex datasets. By employing statistical techniques, researchers can create visual representations and dashboards that summarize findings in an accessible manner.
