Understanding Elections through Statistics explores this random phenomenon from three primary points of view: predicting the election outcome using opinion polls, testing the election outcome using government-reported data, and exploring election data to better understand the people.Written for those with only a brief introduction to statistics, this book takes you on a statistical journey from how polls are taken to how they can-and should-be used to estimate current popular opinion.

While holding elections has become the de facto proof of government legitimacy, those electoral processes may hide the dirty little secret of the government, illicitly ensuring a favorable election outcome.This book includes these features designed to make your statistical journey more enjoyable:Vignettes of elections, including maps, starting each chapter to motivate the material In-chapter cues to help one avoid the heavy math-or to focus on itEnd-of-chapter problems designed to review and extend what was covered in the chapterMany opportunities to turn the power of the R Statistical Environment to the enclosed election data files, as well as to those you find interestingThe second edition improves upon this and includes:A rewrite of several chapters to make the underlying concepts more clearA chapter dedicated to confidence intervals, what they mean, and what they do notAdditional experiments to help you better understand the statistics of electionsA new introduction to polling, its terms, its processes, and its ethicsFrom these features, it is clear that the audience for this book is quite diverse.
