AXIOMATIC DETERMINATION OF A CLASS OF ORDINAL VARIATION MEASURES
The article deals with the problem of the dispersion of ordinal variables. At first, it specifies the very concept of dispersion for this type of scale. Then some of the most known measures that fit to the concept of ordinal variation are recalled.

Bayesian test of independence and conditional independence of two ordinal variables [PDF]
For analysis of contingency tables with large sample size, classical approaches using approximate methods have high power. However, when the sample size is small or some cells have frequencies less than 5, classical approaches are so conservative.

Multiple Ordinal Correlation Based on Kendall’s Tau Measure: A Proposal
The joint analysis of various ordinal variables is necessary in many experimental studies within research fields such as sociology and psychology. Therefore, the necessary measures of multiple ordinal dependence must be easy to interpret and facilitate ...

Adaptive Sparse Clustering of Mixed Data Using Azzalini-Encoded Ordinal Variables
In this paper, we propose a novel sparse clustering method designed for high-dimensional mixed-type data, integrating Azzalini’s score-based encoding for ordinal variables. Our approach aims to retain the inherent nature of each variable type—continuous,

Revisiting the evidence for cardinal treatment of ordinal variables [PDF]
Well‐being (i.e., satisfaction, happiness) is a latent variable, impossible to observe directly. Hence, questionnaires ask people to grade their well‐being in different life domains. The most common practice - comparing well‐being by means of descriptive analysis or linear regressions - ignores that the underlying collected well‐being information is ...

Background: Response variables in most medical and health-related research have an ordinal nature. Conventional modeling methods assume predictor variables to be independent, and consider a large number of samples (n) compared to the number of covariates

Testing for Measurement Invariance with Respect to an Ordinal Variable [PDF]
Researchers are often interested in testing for measurement invariance with respect to an ordinal auxiliary variable such as age group, income class, or school grade. In a factor-analytic context, these tests are traditionally carried out via a likelihood ratio test statistic comparing a model where parameters differ across groups to a model where ...
