Assessing copula models for mixed continuous-ordinal variables [PDF]

open access: yesDependence Modeling, 2023
Vine pair-copula constructions exist for a mix of continuous and ordinal variables. In some steps, this can involve estimating a bivariate copula for a pair of mixed continuous-ordinal variables.

Why Ordinal Variables Can (Almost) Always Be Treated as Continuous Variables: Clarifying Assumptions of Robust Continuous and Ordinal Factor Analysis Estimation Methods

open access: yesFrontiers in Education, 2020
The analysis of factor structures is one of the most critical psychometric applications. Frequently, variables (i.e., items or indicators) resulting from questionnaires using ordinal items with 2–7 categories are used.

On the Bias in Confirmatory Factor Analysis When Treating Discrete Variables as Ordinal Instead of Continuous

open access: yesAxioms, 2022
Confirmatory factor analysis is some of the most widely used statistical techniques in the social sciences. Frequently, variables (i.e., items) stemming from questionnaires are analyzed.

A Regression Discontinuity Design for Ordinal Running Variables: Evaluating Central Bank Purchases of Corporate Bonds [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Statistics, 2020
Regression discontinuity (RD) is a widely used quasi-experimental design for causal inference. In the standard RD, the assignment to treatment is determined by a continuous pretreatment variable (i.e., running variable) falling above or below a pre-fixed

Bayesian Analysis of the Ordinal Markov Random Field [PDF]

open access: yesPsychometrika
Multivariate analysis using graphical models is rapidly gaining ground in psychology. In particular, Markov random field (MRF) graphical models have become popular because their graph structure reflects the conditional associations between psychological ...

Statistical Analysis of Ordinal Response Variable: A Comparative Study [PDF]

open access: yesالمجلة العراقية للعلوم الاحصائية, 2022
Response variables in biological phenomena vary between three types: numerical response variables, ordinal categorical response variables, and nominal categorical response variables. In statistical studies, handling ordinal variables varies in accordance

A Summary Indicator Providing a Snapshot of Political Opinions when Variables are Ordinal

open access: yesInternational Journal of Empirical Economics, 2022
This paper deals with the evaluation of the relative performance of different groups when the achievements of the members of a group are summarised by the relative distribution of these achievements across various ordered categories.

Bivariate Distributions Underlying Responses to Ordinal Variables

open access: yesPsych, 2021
The association between two ordinal variables can be expressed with a polychoric correlation coefficient. This coefficient is conventionally based on the assumption that responses to ordinal variables are generated by two underlying continuous latent ...

ordPens: An R package for Selection, Smoothing and Principal Components Analysis for Ordinal Variables

open access: yesJournal of Open Source Software, 2021
Ordinal data are a common case in applied statistics. In order to incorporate the ordinal scale level, among other things, regularization techniques are often suggested in the literature (Tutz & Gertheiss, 2014, 2016).

Human Capital and Eco-Contractual Governance in Small Farms in Poland: Simultaneous Confirmatory Factor Analysis with Ordinal Variables

open access: yes, 2021
Human capital (HC) plays an important role in modern agriculture. The difference in efficiency of assets explains only about a half of the economic performance of agricultural farms, while the other half relies on HC.
