For multiple response levels, the inclusive method is standard but conservative. A combined approach using the inclusive and continuation ratio methods offers a balanced approach to analyzing risk factor effects.

Area of Science:

  • Statistics
  • Biostatistics
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Logistic regression is standard for binary outcomes.
  • Analyzing multiple ordinal response levels presents challenges.
  • Existing methods for ordinal logistic regression have limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate methods for analyzing risk factor effects across multiple ordinal response levels.
  • To address the limitations of the standard "inclusive" method.
  • To propose a more powerful and interpretable approach.

Main Methods:

  • Comparison of the "inclusive" method with alternative techniques.
  • Introduction of a combined approach using the "inclusive" and "continuation ratio" methods.
  • Assessment of sensitivity to model assumptions.

Main Results:

  • The "inclusive" method is generally appropriate but conservative for detecting differences.
  • Alternative methods can inflate differences but are sensitive to model misspecification.
  • The proposed combined method balances safety and power.

Conclusions:

  • A novel procedure combining the "inclusive" and "continuation ratio" methods is recommended.
  • This approach enhances the ability to detect risk factor effects across ordinal response levels.
  • It offers a robust alternative for analyzing complex categorical data.
