This article presents a brief description of the development and use of log-linear models. Current research in areas of screening effects, partitioning chi-square statistics, stepwise procedures, and model fitting and selection is discussed. An analysis of inherent model ambiguities is provided, identifying potential problem areas for marketing applications.
