Abstract

We study three approaches for the analysis of ordinal pain data. The first is essentially non‐parametric, based on partitioning the goodness‐of‐fit statistic for testing the homogeneity model. The other two involve the modelling of quite different logit functions of the multinomial probabilities. We discuss and compare the characteristics of these three approaches using actual data from an analgesic trial.
