Introduction to Birch (1963) Maximum Likelihood in Three-Way Contingency Tables

摘要: During the 1960s, there was an extremely rapid expansion of literature on categorical data analysis, especially related to use loglinear models for multidimensional contingency tables, culminating in a series papers by Goodman [e.g., see those collected (1978)] and monographs Bishop et al. (1975) Haberman (1974). The problems addressed this paralleled discrete/categorical multiple regression, analysis variance, general linear model continuous data. Loglinear methods have had major impact current statistical methodology today data, crucial paper Martin Birch that appeared 1963 provides underpinnings theory involved.
