Computing Exact Distributions for Polytomous Response Data
多类别响应数据的精确分布计算
This article presents an efficient method for computing exact conditional distributions of the sufficient statistics for the parameters of four polytomous response models. For nominal response, two baseline category logit models and, for ordinal response, two adjacent categories logit models are considered. The method consists of recursive generation of the joint distribution of the sufficient statistics, augmented by a technique to slice off portions of the evolving sample…
