Hi there, i tried to run an ordered logistic regression with polr. so far it worked after i turned my data into factors. but here?s my problem: my output is like this: Call: polr(formula = factor(fulltest[, 1]) ~ factor(fulltest[, 2]) + factor(fulltest[, 10]), method = "logistic") Coefficients: factor(fulltest[, 2])0 factor(fulltest[, 2])1 factor(fulltest[, 2]) 2 factor(fulltest[, 2])3 factor(fulltest[, 10])0 factor(fulltest[, 10])1 factor(fulltest[, 10])2 1.0850358 0.8269005 0.8850035 1.0263442 1.3724189 1.8258853 2.2263393 factor(fulltest[, 10])3 2.5234381 Intercepts: -1|0 0|1 1|2 2|3 -2.42111430 -2.13077351 0.07966516 2.85951997 Residual Deviance: 1219.493 AIC: 1243.493 as far is i understand, there?s a dummy var introduced for every possible outcome ( 0 , 1, 2 ,3) . this is nice because it contains a lot of information, but far more than i need. and i have to many variables to research to use dummies for every single one of them. Can i get one coefficient per variable ? Is there another package for logistic regression ? did is use the factor thing the wrong way ? thx in advance mattthias
