Abstract:
RMORD is an easy-to-use FORTRAN program for the analysis of clustered ordinal data using the method of Stram, Wei, and Ware. This method constitutes an extension of the proportional-odds model to the situation in which groups of responses are correlated. At each measurement occasion, a proportional-odds regression model is fit to the data by maximizing the occasion-specific likelihood function. The joint asymptotic distribution of the occasion-specific regression parameter estimators is obtained along with a consistent estimator of their asymptotic covariance matrix. RMORD may be used when ordinal measurements are obtained at a common set of observation times for multiple subjects or clusters. Both missing data and covariates which vary within clusters can be accommodated. The program can be run on microcomputers, workstations, and mainframe computers. Two examples illustrating the usage and features of RMORD are provided.

Regression Analysis
In regression analysis, a regression equation is determined based on the line of best fit– a line that best fits the data points plotted in a graph. This line is also called the regression line. The algebraic equation for the regression line is called the regression equation. It is represented as:
Multiple Regression
Farmers can use multiple regression to determine the crop yield based on more than one factor, such as water availability, fertilizer, soil properties, etc. Here, the crop yield is the response or dependent variable as it depends on the other independent variables. The analysis requires the construction of a scatter plot...
