In this article methods are presented for fitting nonhierarchical log-linear models as discussed in Magidson et al. (1981) and mobility table models presented by Duncan (1979a) and Goodman (1979b). These methods, which use the GLIM computer package, are considerably simpler than those advocated by any of these authors.
