<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>Skills</i></div>
<br />
Political scientist with a strong background in data analysis and the empirical approach to the analysis of institutions, governance, and political behavior. Hands-on experience (research and teaching) with applied statistical methods to both survey and textual data. Techniques include, for example, multivariate non-linear regression models with discrete choice-based response (e.g., logistic regression, probit); linear models (e.g. OLS) for continuous or quasi-continuous response data; and exploratory tools such as Multidimensional Scaling (MDS), Correspondence Analysis (MCA), Clustering methods (HAC), and Principal Components Analysis (PCA), applied to handle and visualize multidimensional data into a lower dimensional space.<br />
<br />
My tool of choice is the statistical programming language <a href="https://www.r-project.org/">R</a> (within the free software text editor <a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/">Emacs</a>) for survey data loading and munging, statistical analysis, high-quality visualization, and report generation with LaTeX, OpenOffice, MS Word, or HTML. Working knowledge of SPSS, GNU PSPP, etc.<br />

Political behavior; decision-making in institutional frameworks (e.g., in the judicial domain);<br />
urban and metropolitan governance; political economy; quantitative text analysis for policy analysis; design, implementation, and empirical evaluation of indicators for measuring components of political and legal systems (e.g., judicial decentralization, access and costs to legal information); measuring the quality of public institutions (comparative governance); data science; data visualization; multilevel governance; political sociology.<br />
