About this title

Synopsis:

Statistical science s first coordinated manual of methods for analyzing ordered categorical data presents applications and case studies in fields as diverse as sociology, public health, ecology, marketing, and pharmacy. Analysis of Ordinal Categorical Data provides an introduction to basic descriptive and inferential methods for categorical data and gives thorough coverage of late developments. Special emphasis is placed on interpretation and application of methods including an integrated comparison of the available strategies for analyzing ordinal data. The book also discusses implementation of methods using computer packages such as SAS, SPSSx, and GLIM.

From the Publisher:

The first book to deal comprehensively with specialized methods for categorical data with ordered categories. It assembles much of the material previously scattered in journals, including very recent methods such as loglinear and logit methods. The use of existing statistical computer packages for implementing these methods is explained. An extensive bibliography includes articles dealing with the analysis of ordinal categorical data, pulling together research from widely divergent sources.
