Reviews for Semiparametric Regression for the Social Sciences
"The strength of Keele's book is that it offers clear, straightforward explanations of the models, illustrated with social science (primarily political science) applications. Applied social science researchers should be able to incorporate these methods in their own research relatively easily after reading this book." (The Political Methodologist, 2009)
