Contains more than 200 exercises and approximately 100 examples of authentic data sets.
"This is a superb text from which to teach categorical data analysis, at a variety of levels... This book can be very highly recommended." (Short Book Reviews, Vol. 16, No 3, Dec. 1996) "...of great interest to potential readers is the variety of fields that are represented in the examples: Health care, financial, government, product marketing, and sports, to name a few." (Journal of Quality Technology, Vol. 29, No. 4, Oct. 1997) "...Alan Agresti has written another brilliant account of the analysis of categorical data. ... It is bad enough that Professor Agresti can write excellent books on his topic for statisticians - it is almost unforgivable that he can repeat his successful formula for applied researchers and students." (The Statistician, Vol. 46 No. 1, 1997) "Alan Agresti has done it again. He has written another excellent text, which is destined to be a best seller. ... Agresti's text provides an excellent introduction to categorical data analysis..."(Choice, 1997, no date given Carolyn J. Anderson)
