This study modeled the crash severity of elderly drivers using data from state Virginia, United States, for period 2014 through to 2021. The impact several exogenous variables on level was investigated. A multilevel ordinal logistic regression model (M-OLR) utilized account spatial heterogeneity across different physical jurisdictions. findings discussed herein indicate that M-OLR can handle an...

Beef cattle research commonly uses Yield grade (YG) and Quality grade (QG) as outcomes in nutrition and health experiments. These outcomes, as commonly reported and analyzed, are ordinal variables with an assumed rank derived from an underlying latent variable that may or may not be available for analysis. The objective of this study was to employ mixed-effects ordinal regression and approaches...

Most genomic-enabled prediction models developed so far assume that the response variable is continuous and normally distributed. The exception is the probit model, developed for ordered categorical phenotypes. In statistical applications, because of the easy implementation of the Bayesian probit ordinal regression (BPOR) model, Bayesian logistic ordinal regression (BLOR) is implemented rarely ...

An efficient and accurate measurement of congestion intensity helps investigate the traffic conditions at different road classes and provides useful information for transportation planning and traffic operation improvement. However, the existing traffic congestion intensity measurement models often suffer from two major problems: one is that there is no generally accepted method that can be use...

Banking crises can be damaging for the economy, and as the recent experience has shown, nowadays they can spread rapidly across the globe with contagious effects. Therefore, the assessment of the stability of the banking sectors is important for regulators, depositors, investors and the general public. In the present study, we propose the development of classification models that assign the ban...

This study explores the extent to which farmers in the Three Gorges Reservoir area remain highly dependent on agriculture despite rapid urbanization and industrialization. The study focuses on the factors that determine a household’s choice of livelihood strategy, with a particular focus on the production of and dependence on agricultural products. Using a sustainable livelihoods approach and s...

When continuous predictors are present, classical Pearson and deviance goodness-of-fit tests to assess logistic model fit break down. The Hosmer–Lemeshow test can be used in these situations. While simple to perform and widely used, it does not have desirable power in many cases and provides no further information on the source of any detectable lack of fit. Tsiatis proposed a score statistic t...

The adjacent-categories, continuation-ratio and proportional odds logit-link regression models provide useful extensions of the multinomial logistic model to ordinal response data. We propose fitting these models with a logarithmic link to allow estimation of different forms of the risk ratio. Each of the resulting ordinal response log-link models is a constrained version of the log multinomial...
