Teaching Resources

Course readers for my graduate methods sequence, hosted on this site. Each reader is meant to accompany the standard textbooks listed under each course — I draw on many of their concepts and formulas, and the reader is not a substitute for those sources. Open a reader full-screen, or browse the preview below.

POL 682

Linear Regression Analysis

Graduate methods · University of Arizona

Open book

A course reader for the first graduate regression sequence: the linear model from the ground up — OLS, the Gauss–Markov assumptions, inference, diagnostics, and reproducible workflows in R. It accompanies the textbooks below; many concepts and formulas are drawn from those sources.

OLS Inference Diagnostics Reproducibility R / tidyverse

Course textbooks (required companions)

This reader accompanies these textbooks. I draw on many of their concepts and formulas; work through the assigned chapters in parallel with the reader.

POL 683

Advanced Regression & Causal Inference

Graduate methods · University of Arizona

Open book

A course reader for the second-semester methods sequence: limited dependent variables, count and ordered outcomes, simulation, hierarchical models, and causal inference. It accompanies the textbooks below; many concepts and formulas are drawn from those sources.
