These categories can be records of answers (yes/no) in a questionnaire, diagnoses like normal/abnormal resulting from a medical examination or choices of brands in consumer behaviour. Data of this type are common in all sciences that use quantitative research tools, for example social sciences, economics, biology, genetics and medicine, but also engineering and agriculture. In some applications all of the observed variables are categorical and the resulting data can be summarized in contingency tables which contain the counts for combinations of possible outcomes.
