“…The first two are those for which we wish to study the statistical relationship; the next four allow us to differentiate segments of the film market. Indeed, like other artistic universes (Bourdieu, 1983), French cinema can be presented as a field structured by an opposition between an artistic pole, with little financial resources and where the remuneration is mainly symbolic, and a commercial pole in which economic resources are high and play a central role (Duval, 2016; Hammou et al, 2019). As intellectual criticism is structurally linked to the most autonomous pole, the artistic pole, it can be hypothesized that its judgments relate differently to those of the public according to the position of films in the cinematographic field.…”

“…French cinema benefits from a system of grants and subsidies specific to first films, which means that each year between 50 and 100 first French-initiative films 50 are released on the screens. However, directors' careers are not guaranteed and the transition from first to second film is a milestone that most of them never reach: the probability of making a second film within five years of the first is only 28% (Hammou et al, 2019). One may therefore wonder what are the conditions for the professional survival of filmmakers in France in the context of the 2000s: is it only the economic success of their first film, or do other factors come into play?…”

Arbres et forêt. Le partitionnement récursif comme alternative aux modèles de régression paramétriques dans les sciences sociales. Les modèles de régression paramétrique sont devenus l’outil dominant de la sociologie quantitative. Cette domination n’est pas sans poser problème et de nombreuses critiques ont été exprimées, tant sur le plan statistique qu’épistémologique. Pourtant, le développement de la fouille de données, puis de l’apprentissage automatique, a conduit à l’émergence d’approches méthodologiques permettant de surmonter la plupart des limites des modèles de régression paramétrique, pour les différents types d’utilisation qui intéressent les sciences sociales. Nous soutenons que le partitionnement récursif, en particulier, peut être très utile pour les sciences sociales. En effet, cette approche présente un certain nombre d’avantages techniques par rapport à la régression paramétrique et, surtout, elle est cohérente avec une conception des déterminations sociales en termes de configurations de facteurs interdépendants (et non d’additions de facteurs indépendants). Dans un deuxième temps, nous passons en revue une série d’outils permettant d’interpréter les résultats obtenus par les algorithmes de partitionnement récursif. Ensemble, ils forment une boîte à outils très complète pour les sciences sociales et montrent que le partitionnement récursif n’est plus une boîte noire dès lors que les outils d’interprétation appropriés sont mobilisés. Enfin, nous illustrons les méthodes présentées à l’aide d’exemples sociologiques sur le monde du cinéma. Ce faisant, nous montrons que ces méthodes permettent de traiter différents types de problèmes qui se posent en sciences sociales lorsque des régressions paramétriques sont habituellement utilisées, en l’occurrence l’étude des effets de structure et la hiérarchisation des facteurs explicatifs.

Parametric regression models became the dominant tool of quantitative sociology. This dominance is not without its challenges and many criticisms have been expressed, both statistically and epistemologically. Still, the development of data mining, and then of machine learning, has led to the emergence of methodological approaches that make it possible to overcome most of the limitations of parametric regression models, for the various types of use that are of interest to the social sciences. We argue that recursive partitioning in particular may be highly vauable for social sciences. Indeed, this approach has a number of technical advantages over parametric regression and, above all, it is consistent with a conception of social determinations in terms of configurations of interdependent factors (and not of additions of independent factors). In a second step, we review a range of tools for interpreting the results obtained from recursive partitioning algorithms. Together, they form a very complete toolbox for the social sciences and show that recursive partitioning is no longer a black box as soon as the appropriate interpretative tools are mobilized. Finally, we illustrate the methods presented using sociological examples from the world of cinema. In doing so, we will show that these methods make it possible to deal with the different types of problems that arise in the social sciences when parametric regressions are usually used, in this case the study of structure effects and the ranking of explanatory factors.
