Modeling and Analysis of Repeated Ordinal Data Using Copula Based Likelihoods and Estimating Equation Methods
… of this dissertation discusses the multivariate ordered probit model which is a likelihood method based on latent variables. We show that this latent variable model belong to a very general class of <em>Copula</em> models. We use the copula representation for the multivariate ordered probit model …

Risk Aversion and Adoption of Conservation Agriculture Practices in Eastern Uganda
… to reduce soil erosion and sequester carbon. An ordered lottery selection was used to measure risk preferences and an ordered probit model was estimated. Thirty five percent of a random sample of 200 farmers in Tororo (and fifty three percent of 200 farmers in Kapchorwa) made lottery choices that …

Adoption of Integrated Pest Management Technologies: A Case Study of Potato Farmers in Carchi, Ecuador
… and 51 randomly selected farmers. Using an ordered probit model, the data were analyzed to identify determinants and constraints of adoption. Access to information through FFS was the main determinant of adoption of IPM, followed by field days, pamphlets, and exposure to FFS-participants. …

Modelling football match results and testing the efficiency of the betting market
The research models football results using an ordered probit regression. The football market differs from that of horse racing in that it is typically fixed odds in nature. The betting prices generally remain unchanged in relation to bettor demand. Created by the bookmakers, this added risk …

The Economics Of Individual Philanthropy: Essays On Religiosity, And Charitable Giving By Married Couples
… levels of religiosity. The results of bivariate probit and tobit analyses show that religious people have a greater propensity to give and higher levels of giving to both religious and secular charitable organizations. A zero-inflated ordered probit model is used to analyze an individual donor’s …

Analysis Of Type And Severity Of Traffic Crashes At Signalized Intersections Using Tree-based Regression And Ordered Probit Models
… crashes at such locations. One approach is to model crash occurrences based on configuration, geometric characteristics and traffic. Instead of combining all variables and crash types to create a single statistical model, this analysis created several models that address the different factors …
