I have some data I would like to analyse where my response variables are categorical data: several participants were asked to give answers in the form of 1 to 5 (for the degree of importance given to certain items). So, what I have now is response variables that can just take 5 possible values: 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5.
Iker, This situation calls for the application of Thomas Saaty's Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). A good summary is on wikipedia: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytic_hierarchy_process>, and web searches will augment that information. It's easy to implement with octave as well as with python code. Perhaps there is a package within R but I've not found one.
