cubremot: A tool for building model-based trees for ordinal responses

作者:

Highlights:

• Novel technique for growing model-based trees for ordinal responses proposed.

• Mixture models estimated at nodes accounting for uncertainty in ordinal scores.

• Splitting criteria featuring both inferential and fitting issues introduced.

• Effective graphical visualization of the results and flexibility.

• Application to survey data and benchmark study to assess the proposal.
