Regression Models for Ordinal Data
Description
Implementation of cumulative link (mixed) models also known
as ordered regression models, proportional odds models, proportional
hazards models for grouped survival times and ordered logit/probit/...
models. Estimation is via maximum likelihood and mixed models are fitted
with the Laplace approximation and adaptive Gauss-Hermite quadrature.
Multiple random effect terms are allowed and they may be nested, crossed or
partially nested/crossed. Restrictions of symmetry and equidistance can be
imposed on the thresholds (cut-points/intercepts). Standard model
methods are available (summary, anova, drop-methods, step,
confint, predict etc.) in addition to profile methods and slice
methods for visualizing the likelihood function and checking
convergence.
