Application of log-linear models in analysis of students' mathematics anxiety
A log-linear modeling for three-dimensional contingency tables is used with categorical variables. In this study, hierarchical log-linear models are used to fit the observed frequencies and to determine the suitable model for the expected frequencies of pre-university students? mathematics anxiety d...

Data on gender, course, grade and level of mathematics anxiety were examined for presence of association using log-linear models. Estimating log-linear model parameters is carried out using Maximum Likelihood method, where the Newton-Raphson iteration method is used to find the numerical estimates of the parameters.
