Peer reviewedWilson, Thomas P. – Sociological Methods and Research, 1979
A recent recommendation by Holt (EJ 200 576) that coefficients resulting from estimating log-linear and similar models should not be interpreted is argued to be based on lack of clarity about the substantive and theoretical importance of the choice between dummy and effect coding for categorical variables. (Author/GDC)

Peer reviewedKritzer, Herbert M. – Sociological Methods and Research, 1979
Social scientists have available a wide array of techniques for the analysis of complex contingency tables. Considerations in choosing from among the techniques are discussed. The theme emphasized here is that the analyst should evaluate the techniques within the context of the substantive questions of the study. (Author/JKS)

Peer reviewedHolt, D. – Sociological Methods and Research, 1979
Two techniques for interpretation of fitted log-linear models in contingency table analysis are discussed. The use of odds ratios as opposed to direct interpretation of the fitted model is argued for. (Author/JKS)
