An Introduction to Categorical Data Analysis (2nd ed.)

摘要

Alan Agresti is well known for his concise explanations and his clear writing style. This is but one reason why his Categorical Data Analysis (CDA) and An Introduction to Categorical Data Analysis (ICDA) have long been recognized as seminal textbooks in the analysis of categorical data. With the respective 2002 and 2007 second editions, there is little doubt that this tradition will continue. Our review here focuses on the second edition of ICDA. Like the first edition, the second edition offers clear explanations of basic topics, modeling, and implementation with SAS. Henceforth, we focus on the changes from the first edition to the second edition, drawing on our teaching experiences with both textbooks.
