Applied Statistics - Christopher Zorn

This week, the Applied Statistics Workshop will present a talk by Christopher Zorn, associate professor of political science at the University of South Carolina. Professor Zorn received his Ph.D. from The Ohio State University and was on the faculty at Emory University from 1997 to 2005. He has served as program director for the NSF Program on Law and Social Science. His work has appeared in numerous journals, including the American Political Science Review and Political Analysis. While much of his work has looked at judicial politics in the United States, his interests are broad, extending from "The etiology of public support for the designated hitter rule" (joint with Jeff Gill) to “Agglomerative Clustering of Rankings Data, with an Application to Prison Rodeo Events.”

Professor Zorn will present a talk entitled "Measuring Supreme Court Ideology," which is based on joint work with Greg Caldeira. The slides are available from the workshop website. The presentation will be at noon on Wednesday, March 14 in Room N354, CGIS North, 1737 Cambridge St. As always, lunch will be provided.
