Hello. I have an ordered dependent variable (scale 0 - 3), 5 measurement points. I am afraid I have strong ceiling effects in my data, and would like to plot the data (trajectories).
However, you know that plotting ordered variables isn't really feasible. My question: would you think it appropriate to create a new variable with let's say 200 categories out of my 1000 subjects, and averaging 5 subjects into each group? That way I would still get 200 trajectories and would have pseudo-metric variables. It would just be for the visualization of the data. If that's possible, how would I tell R to do this? (I know how to plot the trajectories, but not how to recode 1000 subjects into 200 new categories) Thanks Eiko [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ 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.
