Studies on the history of statistics by MacKenzie and on quantitative geography by Barnes have suggested that the lineaments and assumptions of statistical methods such as correlation and regression are closely related to their origin in biometrics and eugenics. This paper challenges that view by examining in detail the work of George Udny Yule. Yule was a colleague of Karl Pearson in the 1890s, but was interested in social science and social policy applications, not eugenics. In the late 1890s he constructed both the theory and application of multiple regression analysis, using geographical data. The paper examines Yule's work and its context, relating it to debates on the history of statistics, and traces the subsequent early diffusion of regression and correlation into the social sciences. The paper concludes by arguing for greater recognition of Yule's pivotal role, and also for further studies on the history of quantitative social science.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji pengaruh opini audit dan corporate governance terhadap kualitas laporan keuangan. Selanjutnya dalam penelitian ini variabel Corporate Governance disingkat menjadi CG. Opini audit dilihat dari jenis opini audit yang diberikan oleh auditor independen. CG dilihat berdasarkan mekanisme CG yang terdiri dari komposisi dewan komisaris, kepemilikan institusional dan kepemilikan manajerial atas saham yang dimiliki. Kualitas laporan keuangan diukur dengan menggunakan non operating accruals dibagi total asset. Sampel penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini terdiri 11 perusahaan sektor aneka industri metal yang terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia (BEI) peiode 2014-2016. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian kuantitatif dengan menggunakan metode purposive sampling. Teknis analisis yang digunakan adalah multiple regression  analysis dengan alat bantu program SPSS (statistical package for the social sciences) for windows versi 24. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan Opini audit tidak berpengaruh terhadap kualitas laporan keuangan, yaitu 0,357 > 0,05. Komposisi dewan komisaris tidak berpengaruh terhadap kualitas laporan keuangan 0,594 > 0,05. Kepemilikan institusional tidak berpengaruh terhadap kualitas laporan keuangan 0,550 > 0,05. Kepemilkan manajerial berpengaruh signifikan negatif terhadap kualitas laporan keuangan 0,007 < 0,05.

<p><strong><em> ABSTRACT: </em></strong><em> </em><em>Amid the continuing increase in the number of taxpayers in Indonesia, it is </em><em>expected</em><em> that the amount of tax revenue for the state will continue to increase. The increase in the amount of revenue is aimed at optimizing tax functions, namely budgetary, distribution and stability functions. However, the success of this tax revenue is strongly influenced, one of which is the taxpayer compliance to fulfill its obligations. Apart from internal factors that come from individual taxpayers, external factors have an important role in shaping taxpayer compliance. Several studies still show different results on these external factors on their influence on Taxpayer Compliance. This study aims to explain and analyze the influence of tax and tax service advertisement socialization factors on taxpayer compliance in Jakarta. This research is a quantitative study using multiple regression analysis. The analytical tool used in this study is the Social Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS 25</em><em>.0</em><em>). The results of this study explain that taxpayer compliance is influenced by tax advertising socialization. In addition, the Taxpayer Compliance variable is also influenced by tax services. Simultaneously, tax </em><em>dissemination</em><em> and services also affect taxpayer compliance. With limitations on the specifications of the external factors used, this study also emphasizes the characteristics of taxpayers such as novice taxpayers, which is an interesting input to be carried out in subsequent studies. The level of tax knowledge for the group taxpayers will be closely related to the awareness of taxpayers in carrying out their obligations. This has an indirect impact on the level of compliance as a taxpayer.</em></p><p><strong><em> </em></strong></p><p><strong><em>Keywords: </em></strong><em> </em><em>T</em><em>axpayer compliance, advertising, services</em></p><p> </p><p><strong>ABSTRAK:</strong> Di tengah terus meningkatnya jumlah wajib pajak di Indonesia diharapkan dapat terus meningkatkan jumlah penerimaan pajak bagi negara. Peningkatan jumlah penerimaan ini bertujuan untuk mengoptimalkan fungsi-fungsi pajak yaitu fungsi <em>budgeter</em>, distribusi, dan stabilitas. Namun demikian keberhasilan penerimaan pajak ini sangat dipengaruhi salah satunya dari Kepatuhan Wajib Pajak untuk memenuhi kewajibannya. Selain faktor internal yang berasal dari individu wajib pajak, faktor eksternal memiliki peran penting dalam membentuk kepatuhan wajib pajak. Beberapa penelitian masih menunjukkan hasil yang berbeda pada faktor-faktor eksternal tersebut terhadap pengaruhnya pada Kepatuhan Wajib Pajak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan dan menganalisis pengaruh faktor sosialisasi iklan pajak dan layanan pajak terhadap Kepatuhan Wajib Pajak di Jakarta. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kuantitatif dengan menggunakan analisis regresi berganda. Alat analisis yang digunakan pada penelitian ini yaitu <em>Social Package for the Social Sciences</em> (SPSS 25). Hasil penelitian ini menjelaskan bahwa Kepatuhan Wajib Pajak dipengaruhi oleh Sosialisasi iklan pajak. Selain itu, variabel Kepatuhan Wajib Pajak juga dipengaruhi oleh Layanan pajak. Secara simultan, Sosialisasi dan Layanan pajak turut mempengaruhi Kepatuhan Wajib Pajak. Dengan keterbatasan pada spesifikasi faktor eksternal yang digunakan, penelitian ini menekankan juga pada karakter-karakter wajib pajak seperti Wajib Pajak pemula menjadi salah satu masukan yang menarik untuk dilakukan pada penelitian berikutnya. Tingkat pengetahuan pajak bagi wajib pajak kelompok tersebut akan sangat berhubungan dengan kesadaran wajib pajak dalam menjalankan kewajibannya. Hal ini secara tidak langsung berdampak pada seberapa tinggi kepatuhan sebagai Wajib Pajak.</p><p><strong>Kata Kunci:</strong> kepatuhan wajib pajak, iklan, layanan</p>

Political science typically tests hypotheses by demonstrating correlations between variables. The most commonly employed method for doing so is regression analysis. The approach is essentially crisp, which carries with it a number of questionable assumptions about the data. Political phenomena such as democracy or stability often involve measuring the degree to which a particular observation demonstrates the qualities of the category. A fuzzy set approach better captures the inherent ambiguity in classifying our observations relative to such categories. However, the attempt to establish correlations between fuzzy sets in the social sciences has been plagued by the priority ranking issue. We illustrate the potential that Jeffrey's Rule has to overcome this difficulty.

This chapter draws on the latest methodological literature in order to show how an anti-naturalist framework justifies multi-methods in social science research. Contrary to the widespread debate that pits “quantitative” versus “qualitative” methods, researchers are free to use methods from across the social sciences provided they remain aware of anti-naturalist concepts and concerns. Leading methods are analyzed in light of the latest social science, including: mass surveys, random sampling, regression analysis, statistics, rational choice modeling, ethnography, archival research, and long-form interviewing. A full-blown interpretive approach to the social sciences can make use of all the major methods and techniques for studying human behavior, while also avoiding the scientism that too often plagues their current deployment.

Regression analysis is constructed for capturing the effect of of training and work motivation on the employee productivity of South Sulawesi Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS). The population in this study were all employees of the South Sulawesi statistics center (BPS) totaling 88 employees. Multiple regression analysis was used to test the research hypothesis using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version, 21.0. The results of the study provide evidence that the training has insignificant positive effect on work productivity, in other tests proved that the work motivation has a significant positive effect on employee productivity
