Dear All,

I am conducting analysis with categorical outcomes.

It has been suggested that partial proportional odds model is appropriate as it can relax the assumption for those variables which violates the assumptions. I am just wondering whether it is possible to use 'partial proportional odds model’in Mplus?

Many thanks.

I have not studied partial prop odds modeling, but I wouldn't be surprised if it could be done via multinomial logistic regression adding parameter constraints using Model Constraint. If you can't figure it out, please send me a reference (Hedeker?) and I will try to find time to do this.

Thank you so much for this and here is the reference.

Many thanks.

I can only get the abstract for this Stata publication - does it refer to other published work (such as Hedeker's)?

One of the references is by Peterson and Harrell (1990)** on partial proportional odds models. Thank you so much.

We will let you know how this is done in Mplus. Stay tuned.

Thank you very much. I also got confirmation from the author, Richard William, whether the model is as same as that in Hedeker's**.

**Hedeker, D. & Mermelstein, R. J. 1998. A Multilevel Thresholds of Change Model for Analysis of Stages of Change Data. Multivariate Behavioral Research, 33(4): 427.

He replied 'I've just quickly skimmed the article and we certainly seem to be talking about similar things, although I haven't read it closely enough to say if what we are doing is identical.'

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Well, it turns out that our tricks for doing this won't work out, so we have to wait until a later version of Mplus implements it.

Thank you very much for your efforts and help though. I am looking forward to the next version.
Many thanks.

Dear Xiaojing

I'm pretty sure the gllamm ado for Stata can do partial proportional odds models in a mixed model framework. Also, the regoprob ado should work.

Hello

I would be interested to know if the recent version(s) of Mplus are able to fit partial proportional odds models: I wish to model an ordinal outcome with fewer assumptions than the ordered logistic model but with more than the multinomial model.

We don't have that model yet, but it is high on our to-do list.
