Dichotomization and Proportional Odds Model (Episode 10)


Listen Later

In this episode, we move from the logistic regression model to proportional odds model, with emphasis on

interpretation and the checking of assumptions (visually and analytically). We also speak about the
opportunities and challenges of dealing with the dichotomization of ordinal or continuous variables.
