Abstract
- This study introduces a coefficient of discrimination for use with nominal and ordinal regression models. Computation of the coefficient is demonstrated with data from the Pew Research Center's 25th Anniversary of the Web Omnibus Survey pertaining to cell/home phone ownership, where the coefficient of discrimination indicates that respondent age and gender increased the probability of a correct versus incorrect classification by 13.9%. Additionally, the coefficient is compared to existing coefficients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
