Categorical data analysis and artificial nests: what exactly is a log-linear model?

The article discusses the use of log-linear models in ecology. Ecologists used logistic regression for modeling categorical and binary data. Poisson log-linear models are seldom used in ecology. However, its specific form is commonly used in ecological studies (Lewis 2004). When it is applied to binary data, it will give equal results to logistic regression. Lewis (2004) recommends authors to perform analysis of data from studies of predation on artificial nests and suggests that logistic regression is better than transformation of data.
