The Analysis of Cross-Classified Categorical Data - Continuing Education - Course
ASA, Section on Survey Research Methods
Instructor(s): Stephen Fienberg, Carnegie Mellon University
Statistical methods for the analysis of categorical data in the form of contingency tables date back to the turn of the last century and were transformed by the development of log-linear model methods in the 1960s and 1970s, when computation via maximum likelihood estimation became widely accessible via the major statistical packages. This course is based on materials from an MS-level course taught at Carnegie Mellon and will introduce participants to log-linear models and methods for fitting them to multidimensional contingency tables. The material will include the use of graphical models and their interpretation and the applicability of the methodology to large sparse tables.
