Ordinal regression for ranked outcomes
A clinical trial measures pain after treatment. Pain is reported as None, Mild, Moderate, or Severe — an ordered scale. We can't treat this as a number (the gap between None and Mild isn't necessarily equal to Moderate vs Severe), and we shouldn't ignore the ordering.
Solution: Ordinal regression respects the ordering without assuming equal spacing between categories.
This tutorial extends the GLM framework from the JonStats course to ordered categories — material not covered in the original series.
Drag Pain Level to the Response zone on the right.
Pain level is an ordered category: None < Mild < Moderate < Severe.
