<p><b>Bryan E. Denham</b> is Professor of Communication at Clemson University. An expert on logistic regression and log-linear modeling, he has published articles on teaching empirical research methods and applying categorical statistics to social data in outlets such as the <i>Journal of Communication</i>, <i>Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly</i>, <i>Journalism & Mass Communication Educator</i>, and the <i>Journal of Risk Research</i>. He has taught empirical methods at both the graduate and undergraduate levels and has frequently served as a resource for both faculty and students in the use of categorical statistics from areas such as health, political, and science communication. </p>
