Recent Developments in Statistical Inference: Quasi-Experiments and Perquimans County.

Cox, Gary W.

Historical Methods, v21 n3 p140-42 Sum 1988

Critiques "The Statistical Analysis of Quasi-Experiments" by Achen and examines its relevance for historians. Discusses the problems that arise when quasi-experiments involving nonrandom assignment or nonrandom selection are analyzed as if they were true experiments. Concludes that Achen's book will help historians recognize these problems and deal with them appropriately. (GEA)
