A technique in which the researcher draws many (sometimes thousands) of samples from her original data
Bootstrapping
A ratio-level variable for which fractions make no sense (i.e., a half a car)
Count variable
An advanced technique useful when the dependent variable involves when something happened or is going to happen
Hazard modeling
A potential problem in a regression model when two of the independent variables are too closely correlated with one another
Multicollinearity
A regression technique useful for when the independent variables are measured at differing levels
Multi-level modeling
An advanced technique used with a nominal-level dependent variable
Multinomial logistic regression
An advanced technique used with " count" dependent variables
Negative binomial regression
An advanced technique used with ordinal-level dependent variables
Ordered logistic regression
Poisson regression
An advanced technique for use with a dichotomous/ratio hybrid dependent variable
Probit regression
An advanced technique similar to path analysis but using multiple variables at each node
Structural equation modeling
An advanced technique that is sometimes used in place of logistic regression
Tobit regression
