About this title

Synopsis

"A welcome addition to multivariate analysis. The discussion is lucid and very leisurely, excellently illustrated with applications drawn from a wide variety of fields. A good part of the book can be understood without very specialized statistical knowledge. It is a most welcome contribution to an interesting and lively subject." -- Nature

Originally published in 1974, this book is a reprint of a classic, still-valuable text.

Review

"At last, after a decade of mounting interest in log-linear and related models for the analysis of discrete multivariate data, particularly in the form of multidimensional tables, we now have a comprehensive text and general reference on the subject. Even a mediocre attempt to organize the extensive and widely scattered literature on discrete multivariate analysis would be welcome; happily, this is an excellent such effort, by a group of Harvard statisticians that has contributed much to the field. Their book ought to serve as a basic guide to the analysis of quantitative data for years to come."-- James R. Beninger, "Contemporary Sociology"
