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 ...

Ordered Samples Control Charts for Ordinal Variables

open access: yesQuality and Reliability Engineering International, 2005
The paper presents a new method for statistical process control when ordinal variables are involved. This is the case of a quality characteristic evaluated by an ordinal scale. The method allows a statistical analysis without exploiting an arbitrary numerical conversion of scale levels and without using the traditional sample synthesis operators ...

A causal inference method for athletic injuries based on quantile threshold functions and latent Gaussian DAG models [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Public Health
IntroductionCausal inference of athletic injuries provides the critical foundations for the development of effective prevention strategies. In recent years, the directed acyclic graph model (DAG) has established itself as an indispensable tool in the ...

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

Simultaneous optimization of quantitative and ordinal responses using Taguchi method [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Research in Industrial Engineering, 2018
In the real world, the overall quality of a product is often represented partly by the measured values of some quantitative variables and partly by the observed values of some ordinal variables.

Weighted Trajectory Analysis and Application to Clinical Outcome Assessment

open access: yesBioMedInformatics, 2023
The Kaplan–Meier (KM) estimator is widely used in medical research to estimate the survival function from lifetime data. KM estimation is a powerful tool to evaluate clinical trials due to simple computational requirements, its use of a logrank ...

How to use χ2 test correctly——CMH χ2 tests for the data collected from the three kinds of R×C contingency tables

open access: yesSichuan jingshen weisheng, 2021
The purpose of this paper was to introduce the CMH χ2 test and SAS software implementation of the three kinds of R×C contingency table data. The first type was called “two-way unordered R×C contingency table data”.

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.
