title: A new model for ordinal pain data from a pharmaceutical study.
abstract: For the pain data analysed previously by Cox and Chuang, this paper proposes a new model that assumes monotone scores for ordered response categories. This proposed model possesses several attractive features and allows a stochastic ordering of the drugs under comparison. Such a model also provides insight regarding the ordinal scale used to classify response. Estimation of the parameters in the model is obtained by use of BMDP3R.
