run it with factor() instead of ordered(). You don't want the "orthogonal polynomial" contrasts that result from ordered if you need to compare against Stata.
If you don't want polynomial contrasts for ordered factors, you can just tell R not to use them. options(contrasts=c("contr.treatment","contr.treatment")) It's like the Good Old Days when you had to use options() to tell S-PLUS not to use Helmert contrasts. -thomas Thomas Lumley Professor of Biostatistics University of Washington, Seattle ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
