Categorical Data Analysis 

       (Three-day course, with 4 hours lecturing each day, following the book 
       "Categorical Data Analysis," 3rd ed., by Alan Agresti) 

                                 Abstract 

This short course surveys the most common methods for analyzing 
categorical data. The first part of the course focuses on contingency 
table analysis, logistic regression modeling of binary data, and 
loglinear models.  The second part introduces logistic models for 
multi-category ordinal and nominal responses and for clustered data 
using generalized estimating equations (GEE) and random effects.  The 
presentation emphasizes interpretation rather than technical details, 
with examples including social surveys and randomized clinical 
trials. Examples show the use of R and SAS. 

Outline timetable (tentative) 

Day 1 

Contingency tables, odds ratios, chi-squared tests, 
Fisher's exact test, logistic regression as a generalized linear 
model, interpretations, inference using logistic regression 

Day 2 

Logistic regression model building, detecting infinite logistic 
estimates (with remedies), introduction to loglinear models 
Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test, sample size and power, baseline-category 
logit model for nominal data 

Day 3 

Cumulative logit model for ordinal data, analyzing correlated 
categorical data, GEE for marginal models, random effects models
