Overview

Categorical data analysis refers to the set of methods for analyzing categorical response variables. This is a large topic in data analysis and used in the context of complex survey sampling. Contingency tables or cross-tabulations with associated statistics are well-known categorical data analysis techniques. But categorical data analysis extends to more areas such as modeling techniques for categorical response variables e.g. logistic/logit/loglinear regressions and generalized linear mixed models for categorical responses.
