Description
This book describes the principles and techniques needed to analyze data that form a multiway contingency table. Wickens discusses the description of association in such data using log-linear and log-multiplicative models and defines how the presence of association is tested using hypotheses of independence and quasi-independence. The application of the procedures to real data is then detailed.
This volume does not presuppose prior experience or knowledge of statistics beyond basic courses in fundamentals of probability and statistical inference. It serves as an ideal reference for professionals or as a textbook for graduate or advanced undergraduate students involved in statistics in the social sciences.

Reviews / Votes
"...a good introduction to basic concepts and methods for readers with a minimal knowledge of mathematics and statistics....well written....not only an appropriate textbook for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses taught in social science departments, but also one that we recommend."-Journal of Mathematical Psychology
"...serves admirably as a text for a graduate-level course on the analysis of complex categorical data by log-linear and related methods."
-Contemporary Psychology
"The best introduction to log-linear analysis currently available for social scientists who want to both understand the statistical underpinnings and use these powerful analyses effectively."
-Roger Bakeman
