Description
Continuing progress in sociological methodology involves both advances in addressing long-standing problems and new approaches that suggest novel research directions. This session features a combination of both types of contributions, ranging from classic issues relating to problems such as survey implementation and imputation of missing data to new developments making use of simulation, machine learning, and Bayesian techniques. From a priori modeling, to data collection, coding, and analysis, these contributions highlight advances spanning all phases of the research cycle.
