I came across this neat paper by Moss & Edmonds (Manchester Metropolitan University) http://cfpm.org/papers/simandsoc/ that was published in the American Journal of Sociology a few years ago. A very nice example of how to validate "toroidal checkerboard" models and why the stats you see in most social science papers Just Doesn't Work.
