Hi Jeff,
Thank you - your comment was much appreciated.
I'm now running an ordered probit regression and get the following error:
Error in family$linkfun(mustart) : Value 1.125 out of range (0, 1)
I can't decipher (after looking at other posts on google!) why this error
occurs - is it something wrong with my dataset?
If anyone can advise that would be very helpful.
Thanks,
Dinuk
