Understanding Three-Way Interactions in Ordinal Regression with brms: A Practical Guide to Visualizing Conditional Effects and Reconstructing Probabilities
Understanding Brms: Plotting Three-Way Interaction in Ordinal Regression Ordinal regression is a type of regression analysis where the response variable takes on ordered categorical values, such as “low,” “medium,” and “high.” In contrast to continuous variables, ordinal variables do not have a natural zero point. This makes it challenging to interpret the results and visualize the effects of predictors. Bayesian methods for generalized linear models (GLMs) provide an attractive solution for ordinal regression analysis.
