GRAD 8102 - Categorical Outcomes


While linear models like ordinary least squares regression are robust and useful, they are only applicable when your dependent variable is continuous and uncensored.  Unfortunately, social scientists often want to explain phenomena that are “limited” in that they are not continuous and/or uncensored.  Fortunately, there are alternative estimation techniques for analyzing most models with non-continuous (e.g., dichotomous, nominal, ordinal) and/or censored (e.g., event count or event history) dependent variables.  A variety of techniques are examined for estimating models with “limited” dependent variables.
