Bayesian analysis of a multivariate spatial ordered probit model
Communications in Statistics - Simulation and Computation, 2021 Many phenomena are correlated and spatially dependent. In addition, some of them are ordinal discrete responses. Thus, a model is needed to capture the interactions of multivariate ordinal outcomes and spatial dependences. Following Smith and LeSage (2004) and Jeliazkov et al.

An Almost Integration-free Approach to Ordered Response Models [PDF]
In this paper we propose an alternative approach to the estimation of ordered response models. We show that the Probit-method may be replaced by a simple OLS-approach, called P(robit)OLS, without any loss of efficiency.

Spatial heterogeneity and the geographic distribution of airport noise [PDF]
One might expect that houses closer to an airport and those in higher minority population neighborhoods experience more airport noise. We find evidence supporting these conjectures when estimating a standard ordered probit model for houses sold near the ...
