similar to: polr for ordered multinomial response without additional variables

I am new to R, ordered logistic regression, and polr. The "Examples" section at the bottom of the help page for polr<http://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-patched/library/MASS/html/polr.html>(that fits a logistic or probit regression model to an ordered factor response) shows options(contrasts = c("contr.treatment", "contr.poly")) house.plr <- polr(Sat ~ Infl +

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

Hi, I'm trying to fit a ordered logistic regression. The response variable (y) has three levels (0,1,2). The command I've used is: /ordlog<-polr(y~x1+x2+x3+x4, data=finalbase, subset=heard, weight=wt, na.action=na.omit) / (There are no NA's in y but there are NA's in X's) The error I'm getting is: /Warning messages: 1: non-integer #successes in a binomial glm! in:

Hi all. I'm just starting to explore ordinal multinomial regression. My dataset is 300,000 rows, with an outcome (ordinal factor from 1 to 9) and five independent variables (all continuous). My first stab at it was this: pomod <- polr(Npf ~ o_stddev + o_skewness + o_kurtosis + o_acl_1e + dispersal, rlc, Hess=TRUE) And that worked; I got a good model fit. However, a variety of other

I want to fit a multinomial model with logit link. For example let this matrix to be analyzed: male female aborted factor 10 12 1 1.2 14 14 4 1.3 15 12 3 1.4 (this is an example, not the true data which are far more complex...) I suppose the correct function to analyze these data is polr from MASS library. The data have been

Hi, I have a dataset that I am trying to analyze and plot as an ordered logistic regression (y = ordinal categories 1-3, x = continuous variable with values 3-9). First is a problem with cdplot: Produces a beautiful plot, with the "right" trend, but my independent factor values are transformed. The factor has values from 3-9, but the plot produces an x-axis with values from 20-140.

I am learning R via a textbook that performs analysis with SPSS and SAS. In trying to reproduce the results for an ordinal logit model, I get very similar point estimates for my cut-off points, but the parameters for the covariate q60 do not match. The estimate for q51 also matches. Is this because I need to change a base case for the ordered covariate q60? Can this be done in or is it always the

Hello I am having some problems for extracting the residuals from models working with ordinal multinomial data. Either working with the polr() function or the plsRglm () function, the residuals are "NULL". I guess this is because the data is multinomial but I do not know how to solve it. I have read the following in internet: "can you tell us how residuals would be defined in

Hi, how can I do multinomial logistic regression in R? I think glm() can only handle binary response variable, and polr() can only handle ordinal response variable. how to do logistic regression with multinomial response variable? Thanks __________________________________

Hello All, I'm trying to run a multinomial probit on a dataset with 28 data points and five levels (0,1,2,3,4) in the latent choice involving response variable. I downloaded the latest mnp package to run the regression. It starts the calculation and then crashes the rpogram. I wish I could give the error message but it literally shuts down R without a warning. I'm using the R

Hi all, The problem is that when you try to use the function summary of a polr object in a function, it does not work. The problem is not related to the formula or the structure of data involved. It is probably related to the use of the function "vcov" in the code of summary for polr, and the iterative procedure to estimate the Hessian. Anyway, here there is an example extracted from

Dear all, To modelize the abundance of fish (4 classes) with a set of environmental variables, I used the polr and predict.polr functions. I would like to know how to bring the cumulated probabilities back to a discrete ordinal scale. For the moment I used the predict.polr function with the argument "class". Is there an other way? polrf <- polrf <- polr_mod(formula =

Dear all, I have used polr in MASS but I am uncertain about the summary(polr.object) interpretation and would be happy for help on that. This is my summary: > summary(shade.polr) Re-fitting to get Hessian Call: polr(formula = as.ordered(shade) ~ as.factor(objekt), data = sof, weights = as.numeric(frek)) Coefficients: Value Std. Error t value 2.1699520 0.3681840 5.8936612

Dear R helpers, I would like to ask why polr occasionally generates results that look very odd. I have been trying to compare the power of proportional odds logistic regression with the Wilcoxon test. I generated random samples, applied both tests and extracted and compared the p-values, thus:- library(MASS) c1=rep(NA,100); c2=c1 for (run in 1:100) { dat=c(rbinom(20,12,0.65),rbinom(20,12,0.35))

Dear members of the list, I'm fitting ordinal regressions using polr, and in some models I get the error copied below. Dependent variable is an ordered factor of bird abundance categories, and predictors are continuous habitat variables. > ro6 <- polr(formula = abun ~ InOmbrot + Oliva.OC + ToCultAr + DivCulArb + AltitMax + COORXY) > summary(ro6) Re-fitting to get Hessian

I'm running polr() and getting warning messages from glm.fit(). It seems reasonable to use glm.control() to turn on the trace and follow what glm.fit() does when called by polr(); or is it? glm.control(maxit=10, trace=TRUE) polr(act~., data=mm) The glm.control() sets the trace TRUE, but there's no change in the output from polr(). Many thanks in advance for any help/pointers.

Dear community, I am currently trying to fit an ordinal logistic regression model with the polr function. I often get the same error message : "attempt to find suitable starting values failed", for example with : require(MASS) data(iris) polr(Species~Sepal.Length+Sepal.Width+Petal.Length+Petal.Width,iris) (I know the response variable Species should be nominal but I do as levels

Hi all, I am using polr(). The resulting coefficients of first levels are always 0. What to do if I wnat to get the coefficients of the last level 0. For example, suppose x has 3 levels, 1, 2, 3 probit <- plor(y ~ x, data1, method='probit') will get coefficients of level 2, 3 of x, but I want coefficients of level 1, 2 Thank you, Tian [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I'm getting an error message using polr(): Error in optim(start, fmin, gmin, method = "BFGS", hessian = Hess, ...) : initial value in 'vmmin' is not finite The outcome variable is ordinal and factored, and the independant variable is continuous. I've checked the source code for both polr() and optim() and can't find any variable called
