Does anybody know where I might find a program called PLUM? It's used for analysing categorical data with an ordinal response variable ,and fits (I hope) the model logit(F )=a -X B, j=1,....,k-1, i=1,....,N ij j i where F =P[T <=t ],where T is some latent response variable. ij i j i Apparently it does this in a GLIM type environment using iteratively reweighted least-squares. If you haven't heard of PLUM,do you know the name and location of any other program which would do something similar? Thanks.
