This project explored Chapters 7, 8, and 9 of “An Introduction to Categorical and Data Analysis” by Alan Agresti. Chapter 7 describes how to use loglinear models to analyze categorical data in multi-way contingency tables. Chapter 8 shows how to deal with data in which there are matched pairs. Lastly, Chapter 9 presents models that describe data that contain repeated responses or clusters.
