David Melamed works in social psychology and sociology, studying how status, group identity, and inequality shape face-to-face interactions and social networks. A notable strand of his recent work focuses on developing and applying statistical methods, especially a technique called 'Regression Inside Out' (RIO), for analyzing categorical and count data in social science research. Prospective students would likely engage with both substantive questions about status beliefs, gender, and race, and methodological work on regression-based tools.
