Thanks for your responses, but I need to understand this right, so I
have more questions....
If the problem is in only a small subset of variables, it could be
reasonably use gologit? (I suppose, that you can find these variables
with the -brant, detail- command.
Ideally, you have some great theory about when and where and why the
proportional odds assumption is violated. In the absence of a great
theory, you can use mindlessly empirical means, such as the brant
test, or gologit2's own -autofit- option. I often describe autofit
as the lesser of three evils: while you don't like to use mindless
empiricism to make your decisions, you also don't like to have models
whose assumptions are clearly violated (ologit) or models that may
have far more parameters than is necessary (mlogit).
When I did the Brant test, some chi-squares values of variables
appears as negatives (and p-value equal to 1), how can in be possible?
I've never seen this before. You might post your commands and output.
Which representative author has written about this estimation technique?
I don't know how representative I am, but like Maarten suggested
before there is a lot of material on my gologit2 support page,
including stuff I have written and links to other sources. Again the link is
