similar to: Factor analysis on ordinal & nominal data

Dear all, I am trying to conduct an enhanced version of factor analysis with a SPSS interface that allows to use R. This approach has been suggested in the recent article: Basto, M. and J.M. Pereira An SPSS R-Menu for Ordinal Factor Analysis. Journal of Statistical Software 46, pp. 1-29. My variables are ordinal-type and the tool of Basto allows to run polychoric correlations in the SPSS

Hi! I'm looking for a solution to analyse data, which consists of dichotomous responses (yes/no) for 2 multinomial ordinal variables. I was trying glm() and got hierarhical models treating all variables as nominal, but I can't figure out how to tell glm() to use a model for ordinal data like this: log(Mij) = intercept + X + Y + Z + beta*(x-x')*(y-y') where beta is a

I would be very grateful if you would tell me how I can find the degree of correlation between a nominal dependent variable and an independent ordinal variable. The nominal variable has only two levels: YES and NO. thank you very much in advance regards, merlin ---------------------------------------------------------------- -- Este mensaje le ha llegado mediante el servicio de correo

hi merlin, Check out the hetcor package.

I have a consulting client with data containing a mixture of continuous, nominal, and ordinal variables, who wishes to do some correlational analyses. Ignoring for the moment whether this is wise or useful, is there some way to calculate a matrix using, for example, polychoric correlations for pairs of nominal variables, or correlations based on normal scores for ordinal variables? [The PRELIS

Hello, I am running polychoric correlations on a dataset composed of 12 ordinal and binary variables (N =384), using the polycor package. One of the association (between 2 dichotomous variables) is very high using the 2-step estimate (0.933 when polychoric run only between the two variables; but 0.801 when polychoric run on the 12 variables). The same correlation run with ML estimate returns a

Hi, Is there any R library/package that calculates tetrachoric correlations from given marginals and Pearson correlations among ordinal variables? Inputs to polychor function in polycor package are either contingency tables or ordinal data themselves. I am looking for something that takes marginal distributions and Pearson correlation as inputs. For example, Y1=(1,2,3) with P(Y1=1)=0.3,

Hi: I have been working in Item Response Theory, exactly, with Nominal Response Model (NRM). Exist in R a function for estimate parameter and ability from database for this Model?. Thank you, Xavier G. Ordóñez [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I had a look at the MASS4 scripts in the MASS package, in Ch 11.3 Factor Analysis, there is a section of codes like: data(ability.cov) ability.FA <- factanal(covmat = ability.cov, factors = 1) ability.FA (ability.FA <- update(ability.FA, factors = 2)) #summary(ability.FA) round(loadings(ability.FA) %*% t(loadings(ability.FA)) + diag(ability.FA$uniq), 3)

Hello, It has been found that SEM analysis using polychoric correlations + maximum likelihood estimator produces incorrect test statistics and standard errors (e.g., Flora, D. B., & Curran, P. J. (2004). An Empirical Evaluation of Alternative Methods of Estimation for Con?rmatory Factor Analysis With Ordinal Data. Psychological Methods, 9(4), 466-491). Standard errors can be dealt with by

Hello. Using the polychor function > polychor(data[c(s1,s2)] ) for polychoric correlations of two ordinal variables in R takes a long time for N=7000 (20 minutes+) and significantly slows down my computer. Now, I have a pretty old computer, but it takes about 20 seconds for MPLUS to print out the complete polychoric correlation matrix for all 16 variables, while I am running the R function

Hi I would like to analyse an ordinal categorical variable. I know how I can analyse a nominal categorical variable (with multinom or if there are only two levels with glm). Does somebody know which command I need in R to analyse an ordinal categorical variable? I want to describe the variable y with the variables x1,x2,x3 and x4. So my model looks like: y ~ x1+x2+x3+x4. y: ordinal factor

I have been asked to analyse some questionnaire data- which is not data I'm that used to dealing with. I'm hoping that I can make use of the nabble expertise (again). The questionnaire has a section which contains a particular issue and then questions which are related to this issue (and potentially to each other): 1) importance of the issue (7 ordinal categories from -3 to +3) 2) impact

I am performing a large (105 variable) factor analysis with factanal, specifying promax rotation. I kow that some loadings over 1.0 are not unsual with that rotation, but I have some as large as 1.2, which seems extreme. I am skirting the assumptions of the model by using responses on a 7-point rating scale as data; I may have to go back and compute polychoric correlations instead of product

Well, it is no problem to use R or S-Plus for a principle component analysis (PCA). The function "princomp" works very well with my polychoric correlation matrix, that I use for this approach on ordinal variables. But I want to inspect the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin-crieterion with the "measure of sampling adequancy (MSA)" and the anti-image-correlation matrix. I can''t find

Hello All: I am looking for you help. I am trying to replicate the results of an example found in Alan Agresti's "Categorical Data Analysis" on pages 267-269. The example is one of a 2 x 2 cross-classification table of ordinal counts: job satisfaction and income. I am able to get Agresti's results for the independence model (G^2 = 12.03 with df = 9) assuming as he does that

Hello All: I know the function loglin() and loglm() from librarary(MASS) performs analysis on nominal categorical data. Are there any libraries, functions or examples available for analysis of ordinal categorical data? I have in mind procedures that can replicate results in Alan Agresti (1984) "Analysis of Ordinal Categorical Data." Thanks, ANDREW
