内容説明 Categorical data-comprising counts of individuals， objects， or entities in different categories-emerge frequently from many areas of study， including medicine， sociology， geology， and education. They provide important statistical information that can lead to real-life conclusions and the discovery of fresh knowledge. Therefore， the ability to manipulate， understand， and interpret categorical data becomes of interest-if not essential-to professionals and students in a broad range of disciplines. Although t-tests， linear regression， and analysis of variance are useful， valid methods for analysis of measurement data， categorical data requires a different methodology and techniques typically not encountered in introductory statistics courses.
