ordinal factors
|
Ordinal factors are categorical factors where the ordering of levels matters. In JMP fitting, they are parameterized with respect to the difference of each level from the previous level. For example, the design matrix columns are coded [level>=2], [level>=3] and so on, and the parameters measure the response mean differences [level=2]-[level=1], [level=3]-[level=2], and so on.
|
General
|
ordinal logistic regression
|
Fitting an ordinal (ordered categorical) response probabilities to a linear model. The model fits the probability that a response is less than or equal to specific response levels. Ordinal logistic regression is distinguished from nominal logistic regression in that each response level needs only one new intercept parameter rather than a full new set of parameters for each effect in the model.
