Yes. (It has several functions to do so, including glm, loglin, loglm and multinom).

Yes (although there are two, sometimes known as G^2 and X^2, so you will need to be careful). > Maybe even do a model selection procedure (like Brown's two-step > procedure, or forward/backward selection)? Yes. R is currently been used here on a course on log-linear models for social scientists, at their suggestion. -- Brian D.
