文档介绍：Modeling Ordered Choices
It is mon for analysts to seek out the opinions of individuals and
organizations using attitudinal scales such as degree of satisfaction or importance
attached to an issue. Examples include levels of obesity, seriousness of a health con-
dition, attitudes towards service levels, opinions on products, voting intentions, and
the degree of clarity of contracts. Ordered choice models provide a relevant method-
ology for capturing the sources of influence that explain the choice made among a
set of ordered alternatives. The methods have evolved to a level of sophistication that
can allow for heterogeneity in the threshold parameters, in the explanatory variables
(through random parameters), and in the position of the residual variance.
This book brings together contributions in ordered choice modeling from a number
of disciplines, synthesizing developments over the last fifty years, and suggests useful
extensions to account for the wide range of sources of influence on choice.
