A Review on the Ridit Analysis

Abstract

Appropriate methods for analysis of ordinal data, though familiar to statisticians are less well known to practicing scientists and clinicians. Consequently, treatment of ordinal data has been inconsistent, with some investigators analyzing ordinal ratings as if they were true quantitative measurements yielding means and standard errors and others treating similar data as purely nominal categories, ignoring even the ordered nature of the responses. Ridit Analysis is a statistical method for comparing ordinal-scale responses. It was introduced by Bross as a means of comparing ordinal scale responses such as degree of injury, dissatisfaction, preference or agreement. Since then, his technique has found application in such fields as epidemiology, questionnaire design, biomedicine and psychology. The Ridit score does not require a normal distribution and preserves differences present in the (ordinal) data. It can be applied to nominal, interval and ratio data as well. The aim of this study is to introduce this method to the researchers. For this aim a simulated data was used.
