Chapter 8: Models for Polytomous Responses
Summary
This chapter generalizes logistic regression models for a binary response to handle a multi-category (polytomous) response. Different models are available depending on whether the response categories are nominal or ordinal. Visualization methods for such models are mostly straightforward extensions of those used for binary responses.Contents
