<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:Consolas'>Abstract <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:Consolas'>Statistical methods for
the analysis of categorical data in the form of contingency tables dates back to
the turn of the last century, and were transformed by the development of
log-linear model methods in the 1960s and 1970s, when computation via maximum
likelihood estimation became not only feasible but widely accessible via the
major statistical packages. This 1-day is based on materials from an M.S. level
course taught at Carnegie Mellon and will introduce participants to log-linear
models and methods for fitting them to multi-dimensional contingency tables.
The material will include the use of graphical models and their interpretation,
and the applicability of the methodology to large sparse tables. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:Consolas'>Course participants will
learn basic ideas and modern methods for the analysis of cross-classified
categorical data using log-linear and logit models. Special emphasis will be
placed on the flexibility of these methods and their use in a variety of
non-standard problems. The course will presume that they have access to
computer programs in such systems as R, S-plus, and SAS, and to MIM, a freely available
PC-based program for graphical models. The lectures will use output from such
programs but no training in their use! <o:p></o:p></span></p>
