It is aimed at researchers with their own data ready to be analyzed and at students who would like an approachable alternative view of the subject.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEach new topic in categorical data analysis is illustrated with an example that readers can apply to their own sets of data. In many cases, R code is given and excerpts from the resulting output are presented. In the context of log-linear models for cross-tabulations, two specialties of the house have been included: the use of cobweb diagrams to get visual information concerning significant interactions, and a procedure for detecting outlier category combinations. The R code used for these is available and may be freely adapted.
