Least squares multiple regression (LSMR) can be problematic with ordinal data. Dominance-based ordinal multiple regression (DOMR) using the Q2 statistic offers a viable alternative, especially for non-normal response variables.

Area of Science:

  • Social Sciences
  • Statistics
  • Quantitative Research Methods

Background:

  • Quantitative data in social sciences often lack interval justification, leading to interpretation issues with standard methods like least squares multiple regression (LSMR).
  • Ordinal data, common in social sciences, requires specialized analytical approaches to avoid statistical misinterpretations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate dominance-based ordinal multiple regression (DOMR) as an alternative to LSMR for ordinal data.
  • To present the Q2 statistic for testing the omnibus null hypothesis within DOMR.
  • To compare the performance of Q2 with the LSMR omnibus F test using a simulation study.

Main Methods:

  • Discussed two ordinal regression alternatives: dominance-based ordinal multiple regression (DOMR) and proportional odds multiple regression.

  • Introduced the Q2 statistic for omnibus null hypothesis testing in DOMR.
  • Conducted a simulation study to assess Type I error rates and statistical power of Q2 versus LSMR's F test under normal and non-normal conditions.

    • Main Results:

    • The Q2 statistic demonstrated favorable sampling properties in DOMR, particularly when the sample size-to-predictors ratio is adequate.
    • Q2 proved to be a robust alternative to the LSMR omnibus F test when the response variable exhibited non-normality.
    • Simulation results indicated that Q2 maintains acceptable Type I error rates and power under various conditions.

    Conclusions:

    • Dominance-based ordinal multiple regression with the Q2 statistic is a recommended approach for analyzing ordinal data in social sciences.
    • The Q2 statistic provides a reliable method for omnibus hypothesis testing, especially in the presence of non-normal response variables.
    • Researchers should consider DOMR and Q2 as valuable tools to enhance the validity of quantitative analyses with ordinal data.
