Ordinal Regression Location Model

The Location dialog box allows you to specify the location model for your analysis.

Specify model. A main-effects model contains the covariate and factor main effects but no interaction effects. You can create a custom model to specify subsets of factor interactions or covariate interactions.

Factors/covariates. The factors and covariates are listed.

Location model. The model depends on the main effects and interaction effects that you select.

For the selected factors and covariates:

Interaction

Creates the highest-level interaction term of all selected variables. This is the default.

Main effects

Creates a main-effects term for each variable selected.

All 2-way

Creates all possible two-way interactions of the selected variables.

All 3-way

Creates all possible three-way interactions of the selected variables.

All 4-way

Creates all possible four-way interactions of the selected variables.

All 5-way

Creates all possible five-way interactions of the selected variables.
