Discrete Data Analysis with R

Visualization and Modeling Techniques for Categorical and Count Data

Beschreibung

This text presents an applied treatment of modern methods for the analysis of categorical data, both discrete response data and frequency data. It explains how to use graphical methods for exploring data, spotting unusual features, visualizing fitted models, and presenting results. Along with describing the necessary statistical theory, the authors illustrate the practical application of the techniques to a large number of substantive problems. The data sets and R code are available on a supplementary website.
