Abstract
In order to explicate the potentialities of loglinear modelling Goodman introduced the phrases ‘modified multiple regression approach’ and ‘modified path analysis approach’ (Goodman, 1972, 1975, 1973). As he pointed out, the loglinear techniques are not exactly identical with the classical regression techniques, but there is indeed a rather striking analogy between the two (see also Brier, 1979). As such, these phrases were very aptly chosen. They convey the general impression that the questions to be answered by the analyses of data measured at a nominal scale are essentially the same as the questions one tries to answer while analysing interval or ratio level data.
