Ordinal dependent and scale or categorical independent variables

To Obtain an Ordinal Regression

This feature requires the Statistics Base option.

From the menus choose:

Analyze > Regression > Ordinal...

  1. Select an ordinal dependent variable.
  2. Select Factors or Covariates.

The dependent variable can be string (alphanumeric) variables or numeric variables that use numeric codes to represent ordered categories (e.g., 1=Poor credit risk, 2=Fair credit risk, 3=Good credit risk). Factor variables are assumed to be categorical and can be numeric or string. Covariate variables must be numeric.
