Dear Richard, thanks for you help! Could you please advice if it is possible to use categorical independent variables of 3 or more categories with gologit2 (e.g.: 3 levels of occupational statues), or is it only possible to use model with binary or continuous predictors ? Best wishes, Gitit Kadar Satat
gologit2 does not support factor variables. But, you can go ahead and compute dummy variables yourself from a multi-category variable. gologit2 also suppports the -xi- prefix, although personally I would rather just compute the dummies myself. I've always thought xi output looked hideous.
