General Loglinear Analysis Options

The General Loglinear Analysis procedure displays model information and goodness-of-fit statistics. In addition, you can choose one or more of the following:

Display. Several statistics are available for display--observed and expected cell frequencies; raw, adjusted, and deviance residuals; a design matrix of the model; and parameter estimates for the model.

Plot. Plots, available for custom models only, include two scatterplot matrices (adjusted residuals or deviance residuals against observed and expected cell counts). You can also display normal probability and detrended normal plots of adjusted residuals or deviance residuals.

Confidence Interval. The confidence interval for parameter estimates can be adjusted.

Criteria. The Newton-Raphson method is used to obtain maximum likelihood parameter estimates. You can enter new values for the maximum number of iterations, the convergence criterion, and delta (a constant added to all cells for initial approximations). Delta remains in the cells for saturated models.
