Introduction to Categorical Data Analysis

presented by Alan Agresti and Maria Kateri
Date: Tuesday 20 and Wednesday 21 August 2013

This short course surveys the most common methods for analysing categorical data. The first day focuses on contingency table analysis, logistic regression modelling of binary data, and log-linear models. The second day introduces logistic models for multi-category ordinal and nominal responses for clustered data using GEE and random effects. The presentation emphasizes interpretation rather than technical details, with examples including randomized clinical trials and social surveys. Examples show the use of R and SAS, with references for STATA and SPSS procedures. The final two-hour block each day will be a practical session in which attendees can gain experience using the methods and ask questions.
