Categorical Data Analysis - Continuing Education - Course
ASA, Biometrics Section
Instructor(s): Charles S. Davis, Elan Pharmaceuticals
Categorical variables occur frequently in many types of research. The purpose of this course is to introduce, discuss, and provide examples of several approaches for analyzing data in which the response variable is categorical. The course will provide a reasonably comprehensive overview of the basic methods that are of most use to applied statisticians. It is not intended to be a state-of-the-art summary of research in this field. The topics to be discussed include methods for the analysis of two-way and stratified two-way contingency tables, logistic regression for binary and polytomous responses, weighted least squares analysis of categorical data, and loglinear models. Examples using SAS software will be presented. The prerequisite for this course is a general statistical education at the M.S. level (including a mathematical statistics course at the level of Hogg, Craig, and McKean, 2005, Introduction to Mathematical Statistics) and familiarity with regression and ANOVA models for continuous response variables.
