Polytomous Case – When the variable is really ordinal, ordinal we use cumulative logits (or probits). The logits in this model are for cumulative categories at each point, contrasting categories above with categories below. – Example: Suppose Y has 4 categories; then, • logit (p (p1) ) = ln{p ln{p1 /(1p / (1-p1)} )} = a a1 + bX • logit (p 1 + p 2) = ln{(p 1+ p 2 )/(1-p 1 – p 2)} = a 2 + bX • logit (p 1+p 2+p 3) = ln{(p 1+ p 2 + p 3 )/(1-p 1–p 2–p 3)} = a 3 + bX – Since these are cumulative logits, the probabilities are attached to being in category j and lower. – Since the right side changes only in the intercepts, and not in the slope coefficient, this model is known as Proportional odds model. model Thus Thus, in ordered logistic, logistic we need to test the assumption of proportionality as well.
Ordinal Logistic – a a11, a a22, a 3 … are the “intercepts” intercepts that satisfy the property a1 < a2 < a3… interpreted as “thresholds” of the latent variable. – Interpretation of parameter estimates depends on the software used! Check the software manual. • If the RHS = a + bX, bX a positive positi e coefficient is associated more with lower order categories and a negative coefficient is associated more with higher order categories. • If the RHS = a – bX, a negative coefficient is more associated with lower ordered categories categories, and a positive coefficient is more associated with higher ordered categories.
