Hi, I'm a grad student in sociology, which means a novice for statistical
analyses. If some of you would answer my question, I appreciate it very
much.
I have learned loglinear analysis, and read a couple of textbooks. I
understand basic models of loglinear analysis (like uniform-association
model and saturated model). But I am still not sure regarding contrast types
and design matrix. Textbooks I have read tell what loglinear analysis is and
how to interpret parameter estimates. But they do not touch contrast types
and design matrix at all.
Would anybody let me know the basic idea of design matrix? If you would
suggest some books, or web resources, which contain comprehensive
explanations for these issues, I really appreciate it.
Thanks.
