similar to: Help Computing Probit Marginal Effects

Hi, I have a problem with the ordered probit model -polr function (library MASS). My independent variables are countinuos. I am not able to understand two main points: a) how to calculate marginal effects b) how to calculate the relative importance of each independent variables If required i will attach my model output. Thanks Franco

Dear R-community, I am currently replicating a study and obtain mostly the same results as the author. At one point, however, I calculate marginal effects that seem to be unrealistically small. I would greatly appreciate if you could have a look at my reasoning and the code below and see if I am mistaken at one point or another. My sample contains 24535 observations, the dependent variable

Hello, all. I'm investigating the rate at which skeletal joint surfaces pass through a series of ordered stages (changes in morphology). Current statistical methods in this type of research use various logit or probit regression techniques (e.g., proportional odds logit/probit, forward/backward continuation ratio, or restricted/unrestricted cumulative probit). Data typically include the

Hello. I have yet to receive a response to my previous post, so I may have done a poor job asking the question. So, here is the general question: how can I run a run a multivariate (more than one non-independent, response variables) ordered probit regression model? I've had success doing this in the univariate case using the vglm() function in the VGAM package. For example:

Not real data. It was gererated randomly.

Hello, I want to start testing using the MNP probit function in stead of the lrm function in my current experiment. I have one dependant label and two independent varaibles. The lrm is simple model <- lrm(label ~ val1 + val2) I tried the same thing with the mnp function and got an error that I don't understand model <- mnp(label ~ val1 + val2) I get back an immediate error that

Hello, I am getting some results from my Probit estimation in R that are in the opposite direction of what I hypothesized. In sas, the default is probability that y=0 (instead of 1) so one needs to type the word "descending" to get P(y=1). Is the same true for R? Is the default set to P(0)? Thank you in advance.

Hi, If you plot a cumulative histogram of a gausian distribution, using a log scale on the x-axis and a probit scale on the y-axis, you get a straight line. My question is whether it is possible in R to use a "probit" scale in a "plot". For example on the following webpage you can see an application of how I would like to use a probit scale:

Dear all, I have a very simple set of data and I would like to analyze them with probit analysis. dose event trial 0.0 3 15 1.1 4 15 1.3 4 15 2.0 3 15 2.2 5 15 2.8 4 15 3.7 5 15 3.9 9 15 4.4 8 15 4.8 11 15 5.9 12 15 6.8 13 15 The dose should be transformed with log10(). I use glm(y ~ log10(dose), family=binomial(link=probit)) to do probit analysis, however, I have to exclude the

What is the current state of the R-art for ordered probit models, and more esoterically is there any available R strategy for ordered cauchit models, i.e. ordered multinomial alternatives with a cauchy link function. MCMC is an option, obviously, but for a univariate latent variable model this seems to be overkill... standard mle methods should be preferable. (??) Googling reveals that spss

Hey everyone, I've been reading an old scientific paper (well, not that old, about 15 years) and I want to verify the authors' statistical results. The paper is fairly unclear about what exactly they did, and none of the relatively simple commands I'm familiar with are producing results similar to theirs. The data is dose-response, recorded as binomial data: structure(list(X1 =

hi, people How can we compare two probit models brought out from the same data? Let me use the example used in "An Introduction to R". "Consider a small, artificial example, from Silvey (1970). On the Aegean island of Kalythos the male inhabitants suffer from a congenital eye disease, the effects of which become more marked with increasing age. Samples of islander males

Hi, I am new in R. I would like to do a ordered probit regression using clm2 (in the ordinal package). My dependent variable y is the way of payment in M&A: y=0 if the deal is financed by stock only, y=1 if the deal is financed by a mix of cash and stock and y=2 if it is by cash only. My independent variables are CollateralB, Cashavailable and Leverage. This is the code I wrote: >

Dear all, I have a question on the dose-response estimation with clustered/ correlated binary data. I would like to estimate the hit rate for a certain test at various concentration levels. The test is used on 5 subjects, and each subject is tested 20 times. If we assume that the 100 samples are independent, the hit rate estimate is unbiased, but the variance is under-estimated.
