Categorical Data Analysis with Graphics

Michael Friendly
SCS Short Course

This document contains the (somewhat out-of-date) online version of the course notes for the short course, Categorical Data Analysis with Graphics, offered through the Statistical Consulting Service at York University. The online version contains the text, tables, and character-based graphs of the printed version, and many, but not all, of the high-resolution graphs. The images have been reduced to 60% of original size, however, out of consideration for network traffic, but somewhat at the expense of esthetics. As well, most of the typeset equations from the printed version are rendered simply as text, which means they look like input to a formula processor (which is what they are).

If you want to learn more about categorical data analysis, there are several books and other resources I recommend:

Agresti, A. (1990). Categorical Data Analysis. NY: Wiley.
Christensen, R. (1990). :Log-Linear Models. Springer-Verlag.
Everitt, B. S. (1992). The Analysis of Contingency Tables, London: Chapman & Hall (Monograph 45).
Stokes, M.E., Davis, C.S., and Koch, G.S. (1995). Categorical Data Analysis Using the SAS(R) System. Cary, NC: SAS Institute.
