In Rfast: A Collection of Efficient and Extremely Fast R Functions

MLE of the ordinal model without covariates

Description

MLE of the ordinal model without covariates.

Usage

ordinal.mle(y, link = "logit")

Arguments

y	A numerical vector with values 1, 2, 3,..., not zeros, or an ordered factor.
link	This can either be "logit" or "probit". It is the link function to be used.

Details

Maximum likelihood of the ordinal model (proportional odds) is implemented. See for example the "polr" command in R or the examples.

Value

A list including:

loglik	The log-likelihood of the model.
a	The intercepts (threshold coefficients) of the model.
