β¦ Synopsis
This paper describes likelihood methods of analysis for multivariate categorical data. The joint distribution is speci"ed in terms of marginal mean functions, and pairwise and higher order association measures. For the association, the emphasis is on global odds ratios. The method allows #exible formulation of a broad class of designs, such as repeated measurements, longitudinal studies, interrater agreement and cross-over trials. The proposed model can be used for parameter estimation and hypothesis testing. Simple "tting algorithms are proposed. The method is illustrated using a data example.

The most commonly used models for categorical repeated measurement data are log-linear models. Not only are they easy to "t with standard software but they include such useful models as Markov chains and graphical models. However, these are conditional models and one often also requires the marginal
This article summarizes recent advances in the modelling of ordered categorical (ordinal) response variables. We begin by reviewing some models for ordinal data introduced in the literature in the past 25 years. We then survey recent extensions of these models and related methodology for special typ
