Timothy Shortell<p>I'm continuing to look for a text to use in a class in categorical data analysis I'll be teaching. I'm reading Alan Agresti's book _Analysis of Ordinal Categorical Data_.

Mathieu Génois<p>Hi all, I'm a french physicist from Marseille.</p><p>I work at the interface between statistical physics, network science and sociology (sometimes labelled <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/sociophysics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sociophysics</span></a> or <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/ComputationalSocialScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ComputationalSocialScience</span></a>).
