Multinomial Logistic Regression Models

Stat 544, Lecture 191 Multinomial LogisticRegression ModelsPolytomous Regression can beextended to handle responses that arepolytomous, >2 categories. (Note: The wordpolychotomousis sometimes used, but this word doesnot exist!) When analyzing a polytomous response ,it s important to note whether the response isordinal(consisting of ordered categories) ornominal(consisting of unordered categories). Some types ofmodels are appropriate only for ordinal responses;other Models may be used whether the response isordinal or nominal. If the response is ordinal, we donot necessarily have to take the ordering into account,but it often helps if we do.
