print.serp

Prints out a vector of coefficients of the fitted model with some
additional goodness-of-fit measures.

Implements a regularization method for cumulative link models using the
Smooth-Effect-on-Response Penalty (SERP). This method allows flexible
modeling of ordinal data by enabling a smooth transition from a general
cumulative link model to a simplified version of the same model. As the
tuning parameter increases from zero to infinity, the subject-specific
effects for each variable converge to a single global effect.
The approach addresses common issues in cumulative link models, such as
parameter unidentifiability and numerical instability, by maximizing a
penalized log-likelihood instead of the standard non-penalized version.
Fitting is performed using a modified Newton's method. Additionally, the
package includes various model performance metrics and descriptive tools.
