Categorical Data Analysis I: Associations with nominal and ordinal data

May 23, 2017
1:30pm-5:00pm

Introduction to description and inference for assessing association between variables measured on the nominal or ordinal scale. Practical recommendations for choosing the appropriate procedure for estimating and testing for association. Examples will illustrate use of several software packages, including R, SAS and SPSS. Topics will include:

• non-model-based measures and tests for nominal/nominal, nominal/ordinal and ordinal/ordinal association
• dealing with sparse contingency tables
• treating ordinal data as interval

Prerequisites: Familiarity with material typically covered in an introductory statistics course, including graphical displays, mean and standard deviation, normal distributions, t-tests and confidence intervals, analysis of contingency tables.

 

Instructor: Dr. Scott Richter is Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics and Director of the UNCG Statistical Consulting Center.
