Analysis of Categorical Data with R (Chapman & Hall/CRC Texts in Statistical Science Book 113)

This is one of the best applied statistical references written. It provides a solid foundation with lucid explanations. It does not sacrifice key details. It also is very helpful in developing R skills. The appendices include the theoretical framework; however, Agresti provides much broader theoretical discussions. I would highly recommend.

This is the best alternative to Agresti books in categorical data analysis. A modern and well written book with a lot of examples and R code.Very useful as a textbook in categorical data analysis courses. The chapter "Additional Topics" has many modern techniques to explore.

Well written, clear book with good examples and great code online.

Super book.

In good shape.

The book is well written and presents methods for the analysis of categorical data from the ground up. Unfortunately, the authors and the publishers provide a "solutions manual for all exercises" only for "instructors who adopt the textbook as a required resource for a course" and they won't "help [...] readers who are trying to solve exercises" ([...]).This is odd because it makes me think neither the authors nor the publishers can imagine that people would want to read this book voluntarily without having been obliged to do so by their teachers. This also makes me believe, the authors and publishers think this book is mediocre at best. If they thought the book were good, they surely would have prepared solutions for some exercises for people who use this book, e.g., for self-study purposes, as a refresher etc.(Don't get me wrong though: this actually is a well written book. I just wish they had provided some way to make it possible for self-learners to verify their solutions to the exercises in the book.)

I took Dr. Bilder's categorical data analysis when I was a PhD student. His courses were excellent. This is a great book because it is easy to read and follow. I use this book as a tool book because it provides many examples with R codes. These R codes are particular helpful because R is so popular now. I believe that this textbook is an excellent resource for people who want to learn/teach R and categorical data analysis at the same time. I wish Dr. Bilder can publish this book much earlier.

Very well written and complete
