Log-Linear Models (Springer Texts in Statistics)

Product Description This book examines log-linear models for contingency tables. It uses previous knowledge of analysis of variance and regression to motivate and explicate the use of log-linear models. It is a textbook primarily directed at advanced Masters degree students in statistics but can be used at both higher and lower levels. Outlines for introductory, intermediate and advanced courses are given in the preface. All the fundamental statistics for analyzing data using log-linear models is given. Review "Christensen's introduction...is more thorough than many introductory texts yet more accessible than the advanced books... a fine book, and anyone who works through it will develop a good grounding in the theory and practice of log-linear modeling."
