    Area of Science:

    • Statistics
    • Biostatistics
    • Econometrics

    Background:

    • Ordered categorical data analysis is crucial in various scientific fields.
    • McCullagh's ordinal regression models provide a robust framework for such analyses.
    • Small-sample behavior of significance tests in these models requires careful consideration.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the small-sample performance of significance tests in ordinal regression.
    • To propose a modified test procedure for improved accuracy with limited data.
    • To explore the parallels between ordinal and conventional multiple regression models.

    Main Methods:

    • Monte Carlo sampling study to simulate small-sample scenarios.
    • Analysis of significance tests based on likelihood-ratio statistics.
    • Development and evaluation of a modified test using an F distribution.

    Main Results:

    • Ordinal regression significance tests demonstrate good power.
    • The modified test procedure enhances the agreement between empirical and nominal significance levels in small samples.
    • Parallels with multiple regression are discussed and illustrated.

    Conclusions:

    • The modified significance test is recommended for ordinal regression with small datasets.
    • Ordinal regression models are versatile tools applicable to diverse research areas.
    • Accurate statistical inference is vital for reliable scientific conclusions.
