This function is called from the functions
docabasic, socabasic, sonscabasic and donscabasic.
It allows the analyst to compute the orthogonal polynomials of the ordered categorical variable.
The number of the polynomials is equal to the variable category less one.
The function computes the polynomial transformation of the ordered categorical variable.
Usage
emerson.poly(mj, pj)
Arguments
mj
The ordered scores of an ordered variable. By default mj = NULL, the natural scores (1,2,...) are computed.
pj
The marginals, relative frequencies of the ordered variable.
Value
Describe the value returned
B
the matrix of the orthogonal polynomials without the trivial polynomial.
