Ordinal Outcome Variables

2019
A commonly undervalued and mistreated type of outcome variable is the ordinal one. Two common types of mistreatment are treating ordinal variables as interval/ratio level outcome variables (frequently in linear models) and, in other cases, as multicategory nominal outcome variables. Multicategory nominal outcome variables are covered in Chap.

A Method for Transforming Ordinal Variables

2017
The similarity of individuals with respect to a number of ordinal variables is the main topic of this work. We consider the application of Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA) on k ordinal variables for N subjects. In the context of ordinary MCA, each variable is transformed into a suitable number of binary variables and the derived matrix is ...

Multivariate Analysis of Ordinal Variables

American Journal of Sociology, 1975
This article examines the assumptions underlying two multivariate strategies commonly used in analyzing ordinal data. Both strategies employ as a descriptive tool the ordinary multiple regression algorithms; the crucial difference between the two is that the first, ordinal strategy, uses the matrix of Kendall's 's as the building block of multivariate ...

Ordinal Variables and the Measurement of Polarization

2011
This paper aims at proposing measures of polarization for the distribution of a variable when information on the latter is only ordinal. The measures proposed are borrowed from the recent literature on the measurement of segregation. An empirical illustration is given, based on the European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) for

Comparing classifiers for ordinal variables

2020
To choose a single category of a qualitative variable using its predicted probability distribution is the final task to solve a classification problem. In this study, five predictive criteria are proposed and compared with the modal one, which is the standard criterion.
