An Introduction to Categorical Data Analysis by Alan Agresti
The first edition of this text has sold over 19,600 copies. However, the use of statistical methods for categorical data has increased dramatically in recent years, particularly for applications in the biomedical and social sciences. A second edition of the introductory version of the book will suit it nicely.
"Yes, I fully recommend the text as a basis for introductory course, for students, as well as non-specialists in statisticsThe wealth of examples provided in the text is, from my point of view, a rich source of motivating ones own studies and work." (Biometrical Journal, Dec 2008) "This text does a good job of achieving its state goal, and we enthusiastically recommend it." (Journal of the American Statistical Association Sept 2008) "This book is very well-written and it is obvious that the author knows the subject inside out." (Journal of Applied Statistics, April 2008) "Provides an applied introduction to the most important methods for analyzing categorical data, such as chi-squared tests and logical regression." (Statistica 2008) "This is an introductory book and as such it is marvelous...essential for a novice..." (MAA Reviews, June 26, 2007)
