This unique book provides a comprehensive and detailed coverage of
configural frequency analysis (CFA), the most useful method of
analysis of categorical data in person-oriented research. It
presents the foundations, methods, and models of CFA and features
numerous empirical data examples from a range of disciplines that
can be reproduced by the readers. It also addresses computer
applications, including relevant R packages and modules. Configural
frequency analysis is a statistical method that allows the
processing of important and interesting questions in categorical
data. The perspective of CFA differs from the usual perspective of
relations among variables; its focus is on patterns of variable
categories that stand out with respect to specific hypotheses, and
as such, CFA allows for testing numerous substantive hypotheses.
The book describes the origins of CFA and their relation to
chi-square analysis as well as the developments that are based on
log-linear modeling. The models covered range from simple models of
variable independence to complex models that are needed when causal
hypotheses are tested. Empirical data examples are provided for
each model. New models are introduced for person-oriented mediation
analysis and locally optimized time series analysis, and new
results concerning the characteristics of CFA methods are bolstered
using Monte Carlo simulations. Primarily intended for researchers
and students in the social and behavioral sciences, the book will
also appeal to anyone who deals with categorical data from a
person-centered perspective.
