The Analysis of Contingency Tables

  • Chapter

Abstract

Social and behavioral scientists routinely use statistical models to make inferences about the distribution of one or more dependent variables (which may be observed and/or unobserved), conditional on a set of independent variables. Often, this conditional distribution is assumed to be absolutely continuous, and in many instances, normal.
