Dear All, We are about to purchase the second edition of Agresti's "Categorical Data Analysis" (my old copy of the first ed. of that wonderful book is falling apart). I would appreciate suggestions about other comparable books which, if possible, have examples using R/S code (instead of SAS).

There is a S-PLUS manual (very comprehensive) for Categorical Data Analysis written by Laura A. Thompson at http://math.cl.uh.edu/~thompsonla/5537/Splusdiscrete.PDF and one (briefer) by Brett Presnell at http://web.stat.ufl.edu/~presnell/Teaching/sta4504-2000sp/R/R-CDA.pdf> -----Original Message----- > From: r-help-admin at stat.math.ethz.ch > [mailto:r-help-admin at stat.math.ethz.ch]On Behalf Of Ramon Diaz > Sent: Tuesday, January 21, 2003 12:13 PM > To: r-help at stat.math.ethz.ch > Subject: [R] books on categorical data analyses > > > Dear All, > > We are about to purchase the second edition of Agresti's > "Categorical Data > Analysis" (my old copy of the first ed. of that wonderful book is falling > apart).

Dear All, I received several helpful replies to my original query (reproduced below); thanks to Frank Harrell, Paul Hewson, Pat Althman, and Chunlou Yung. Basically, I was directed to Laura Thompsons' S-PLUS manual for Agresti's 1990 Categorical Data Analysis (available from http://math.cl.uh.edu/~thompsonla/5537/Splusdiscrete.PDF), to Presnell's briefer document (http://web.stat.ufl.edu/~presnell/Teaching/sta4504-2000sp/R/R-CDA.pdf) and to the material available from Pat Althman's page: http://www.statslab.cam.ac.uk/~pat. I was also reminded that Frnak Harrell's recent "Regresion modeling strategies" book has several chapter with plenty of material on binary and ordinal logistic regression. (See http://hesweb1.med.virginia.edu/biostat/rms for more information.)
