This book offers a paradigm shift for those (me) trained primarily in either quantitative or qualitative methods, rigorously attacking the very distinction between them.

Most papers comparing clustered data methods use biostat/econ language, so I tried to write one using psyc/ed language that covers the origin of the independence assumption, how each method handles ind. violations, and types of questions best-suited for each method psycnet.apa.org/record/2024-...
