Chapter 5 Log-Linear Models for Contingency Tables In this chapter we study the application of Poisson regression models to the analysis of contingency tables. This is perhaps one of the most popular applications of log-linear models, and is based on the existence of a very close relationship between the multinomial and Poisson distributions. 5.1 Models for Two-dimensional Tables We start by considering the simplest possible contingency table: a two-by- two table. However, the concepts to be introduced apply equally well to more
