The faculty and staff associated with the Statistical Consulting and Collaborative Research Unit will be pleased to help with:
Why not see us before you start your experiment or survey? The incorporation of statistical principles into your design may well save time and money, and ultimately lead to much more clearly defined conclusions.
We will be glad to help!
Many categorical response variables have a natural order to their levels. We refer to them as ordinal variable (data). This workshop will show participants how to estimate and make inferences about ordinal data through the proportional odds model. Topics covered in this workshop includes introducing the proportional odds model, discussing the model assumptions, interpretation of coefficients, significance testing, interactions between variables and the use and interpretation of dummy variables. Model checking methods such as residual plots and goodness-of-fit tests will also be covered. Several methods for model selection will be included.
Registration is free and open to all University of Waterloo faculty, staff, graduate and undergraduate students. The primary software we will discussed in this seminar is RStudio. There is no hands-on work in this seminar.
Details and registration coming soon.
Consulting is available on a first-come first-served basis.
