About Log-linear Analysis: Methods Used To Treat The Case Of Dichotomous And Categorical Variables

This book introduces log-linear analysis. It is a method used in statistics to examine the relationship between more than two categorical variables. This is a special case of the general linear model (GLM, which includes regression and ANOVA models) created to better handle the case of dichotomous and categorical variables. The technique is used for both hypothesis testing and model building.
