Statistical Methods for the Analysis of Ordered Categorical Data - Continuing Ed
ASA, Biometrics Section
Instructor(s): Charles S. Davis, Elan Pharmaceuticals
Ordered categorical response variables occur frequently in many types of research. The purpose of this course is to introduce, discuss, and provide examples of several approaches for analyzing data in which the response variable is categorical with more than two ordered categories. One approach is based on the use of randomization model test statistics for two-way and stratified two-way contingency tables. In addition, regression methods for modeling a categorical response as a function of one or more categorical and/or continuous covariates are useful in many areas of application. Thus, extensions of the binary logistic regression model to ordered categorical outcome variables and weighted least squares methods for the analysis of ordered categorical responses will also be described. Multiple logit, cumulative logit, mean score, and proportional odds regression models will be discussed. In addition, extensions of these types of models to the repeated measurements setting (multiple measurements per subject) will also be described. Examples using SAS software will be presented. The prerequisites for this course are a general statistical education at the M.S. level, as well as some familiarity with basic methods for the analysis of categorical data, such as Pearson's chi-square test and binary logistic regression. Fees: M-$200 ($270 after July 18), NM-$260 ($330 after July 18), SM- $125 ($200 after July 18)
