Hi All,

I have a question on what type of analysis I should do. Unfortunately I seemed to have missed most of the categorical data analysis during my degree.

The data I have is based on services provided to mental patients, children, and the length of time those services are provide.

I'm looking for a relationship between a specific service, hospital stay based on demographic information, such as family structure, diagnosis, location of child, type of facility, etc. Most of these are categorical variables, and its seems like a factorial design to me, without the experiment, and no balanced design of course.

Any information is helpful!! Thanks, Reeza
