AXIOMATIC DETERMINATION OF A CLASS OF ORDINAL VARIATION MEASURES

open access: yesStudies in Logic, Grammar and Rhetoric, 2017
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]

open access: yesJournal of Statistical Theory and Applications (JSTA), 2015
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

open access: yesMathematics, 2021
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

open access: yesAxioms
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]

open access: yesEuropean Economic Review, 2015
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 ...

Comparison of Ordinal Response Modeling Methods like Decision Trees, Ordinal Forest and L1 Penalized Continuation Ratio Regression in High Dimensional Data

open access: yesIranian South Medical Journal, 2021
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]

open access: yesPsychometrika, 2014
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 ...
