Models of Category Counts - Bernard Fingleton - Hardcover

In recent decades there has been a surge of interest in new methods of analysing data that typically arise from surveys of various kinds of experiments in which the number of people, animals, places or objects occupying various categories are counted. Such observations are known variously as category counts, contingency tables, or crosstabulated or cross-classified categorical data. In this textbook, Dr Fingleton describes some techniques centred on the log-linear model from the perspective of the social, behavioural and environmental scientist. His aim is to provide a route from conceptual appreciation to the practicalities of fitting models to data, and he therefore gives some consideration to appropriate computer software. The emphasis throughout is on data analysis and interpretation. Recently developed methods are clearly explained and mathematics has been kept to a minimum.Fingleton, Bernard is the author of 'Models of Category Counts - Bernard Fingleton - Hardcover' with ISBN 9780521252973 and ISBN 0521252970.
