Prof. King ... do we need to mention if some of the "FULLY OBSERVED" variables in our data set are Nominal(_AMnoms) and/or Ordinal(_AMords)... i mean if the answer is no, then won't we miss something, given in our model estimation we are treating the nominal as dummy and ordinal as an indicator of ordered category say e.g. we are fitting ordered probit, y on (X1 X2 X3 X4 X10) ... 1. Y is (bad/neutral/good) and is also fully observed 2. x1, x2 represents male/female and employed/unemployed ..they are also fully observed now, if the answer is Yes ... then it confounds me as well, since in EM, we assume multivariate normality ... how can we accomodate nominal/categorical assumption there thanks and regards, Sanjoy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
