Log Linear

By incorporating the structure of polytomous variables with ordered categories in the design matrix, nonstandard logit models are used to analyze housing choice. The detailed effects of income, age, and type of housing market on choice are examined. The additional information that is incorporated in the modeling leads to a more parsimonious representation of the data. The results confirm the central and substantial role of income; income effects are linear for owners but there are nonlinear effects for public and private renters. There are important age and region interaction effects on choice for households originally in the rental sector, and for former owners the value of the previous dwelling influences choice.

Log Linear

A large amount of data that is considered within sociological studies consists of categorical variables that lend themselves to tabular analysis. In the sociological analysis of data regarding social class and educational attainment, for example, the variables of interest can often plausibly be considered as having a substantively interesting order. Standard log-linear models do not take ordinality into account, thereby potentially they may disregard useful information. Analyzing tables where the response variable has ordered categories through model building has been problematic in software packages such as GLIM (Aitken et al., 1989). Recent developments in statistical modelling have offered new possibilities and this paper explores one option, namely the continuation ratio model which was initially reported by Fienberg and Mason (1979). The fitting of this model to data in tabular form is possible in GLIM although not especially trivial and by and large this approach has not been employed in sociological research. In this paper I outline the continuation ratio model and comment upon how it can be fitted to data by sociologists using the GLIM software. In addition I present a short description of the relative merits of such an approach. Presenting this paper in an electronic format facilitates the possibility of replicating the analysis. The data is appended to the paper in the appropriate format along with a copy of the GLIM transcript. A dumped GLIM4 file is also attached.

Log Linear

Log-linear models are an appropriate means of determining the magnitude and direction of interactions between categorical variables that in common with other statistical models assume independent observations. Spatial data are often dependent rather than independent and thus the analysis of spatial data by log-linear models may erroneously detect interactions between variables that are spurious and are the consequence of pairwise correlations between observations. A procedure is described in this paper to accommodate these effects that requires only very minimal assumptions about the nature of the autocorrelation process given systematic sampling at intersection points on a square lattice.

Log Linear

In this article, educational homogamy among married and cohabiting couples in selected European countries is examined. Using data from two waves (2002 and 2004) of the European Social Survey, this article compares three cultural and institutional contexts that differ in terms of institutionalization of cohabitation. Evidence from log-linear models yields two main conclusions. First, as cohabitation becomes more common in society, marriage and cohabitation become more similar with respect to partner selection. Second, where married and unmarried unions differ in terms of educational homogamy, married couples have higher odds of overcoming educational barriers (i.e., intermarrying with other educational groups).
