Models in Ordinal Contingency Tables

For the data in Table 10.1 we see that both row and column variables can be assumed to be ordered, leading to a 4×4 ordered table. In Table 10.2, we can also assume that the response variable “Mental health status” has some intrinsic order in its categories. In Table 10.3, too, both rows and columns can also be assumed to have ordinal ordering about their categories.
