Dear all, I am doing an ordinal data simulation. I　have a question regarding the cut off values between categories. Suppose I have three categories, if I do regression, there should be two cut off values. I find some simulation code for the ordinal data. However, they usually only generate a uniform random number and compare the probability with the random number. Could any one be so kind to tell me the rational behind it. I don't know why we need a random number rather than just two fixed cut off values.
Thanks very much! Myckel ______________________________________________ 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.
