This is a elementary problem concerned with tests of association. You should read up on categorical statistics, chi square tests, and general linear models.
Along those lines, Thompson's "R accompaniment" to Agresti's text on "Categorical Data Analysis" is simply wonderful: https://home.comcast.net/~lthompson221/SplusDiscrete.PDF It's not surprising that Agresti recommends it on the book's homepage: http://www.stat.ufl.edu/~aa/cda/cda.html However, I suspect the OP might be better off with Agresti's "An Introduction to Categorical Data Analysis (2nd ed. 2007)". So perhaps following the link on Agresti's page to the linked and website could be a first visit for worked R code examples. But when I followed that link I didn't find much that seemed appropriate for a beginner in R. Maybe looking at Friendly's website which was in the links at Bilder's site: http://www.datavis.ca/courses/grcat/ -- David.
Steve Friedman Ph. D. Ecologist / Spatial Statistical Analyst I have this question: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/file/n4240145/data%5D.jpg This table and data represents a sample of social housing residents in Copenhagen and I'm asked to analyse the data with a view to seeing what might be related to residents satisfaction levels. And I just don't know where to start, if anyone could help this would be greatly appreciated Regards
