Title: An Introduction to Categorical Data Analysis by Alan Agresti ISBN: 0-471-11338-7 Publisher: Wiley-Interscience Pub. Date: 19 January, 1996 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $99.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 3.8 (5 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: An excellent introduction
Comment: The larger, older, more complex Agresti (to which many of the reviewers have referred) is written in formulas. His newer book, the subject of review, is written in words. For a large group of readers, "Introduction" is perfectly suitable. However, those who are really interested in the mathematical concepts, should buy the older Agresti title. My personal opinion is that they are good companions and that the introductory book is the place to start, unless you know that you will be unhappy with the light treatment of the mathematical issues.
Rating: 2
Summary: Remove 1/3 of Agresti's big book, and you have this one.
Comment: Agresti took most of the material from his big book, _Categorical Data Analysis_, and took out all the justifications. What's left is _An Introduction to Categorical Data Analysis_, and no math. If you enjoy having results fed to you so that you can memorise then, read this book. Otherwise, I concur with the other reader: buy this book's big brother.
Rating: 3
Summary: Clear, well written & dumbed-down for the math impaired.
Comment: Clear, concise,and extremely well written and edited ( in the 99% tail for Statistics books!). Great problems. Do them and you will learn quickly and easily. Contains a gem: A chapter on the modern history of Statistics including the egos, feuds, and angry debates and Pearson's great error, which he arrogantly refused to admit. But, a big disappointment: the book does NOT give enough formulas or guidance to the use the usual software. The author condescendingly underates the average user's math ability and understanding. Conclusion: The book is interesting, and can be read as a novel, but it is fluff --- you really can't use the book to use your software. Essentially an entertaining waste of time. Buy Agresti's industrial strength book, Categorial Data Analysis instead.
