Abstract

Issues discussed in Chap.2 for two-way tables are extended to multi-way contingency tables. Emphasis is given to clarifying the concepts of partial and marginal association. Further on, stratified 2 × 2 tables are analyzed by the Mantel–Haenszel and the Breslow–Day–Tarone tests. Types of independence for three-way tables are introduced. Graphs are presented for multi-way contingency tables while fourfold plots are used to visualize stratified 2 × 2 tables. All examples are implemented in R.
