ordinalize: Ordinalizes the standard normal variable

In OrdNor: Concurrent Generation of Ordinal and Normal Data with Given Correlation Matrix and Marginal Distributions

Description

The function transforms the standard normal variable to an ordinal variable with a specified probability for each category.

Usage

ordinalize(pvec, z)

Arguments

pvec	A vector of probabilities for an ordinal variable. The i-th element of the pvec is the cumulative probability defining the marginal distribution of the ordinal variable. If the variable has k categories, the i-th element of pvec will contain k-1 probabilities. The k-th element is implicitly 1.
z	A vector of samples from the standard normal distribution.

Value

A vector of ordinalized variates.
