linear mixed effect model with ordered logit/probit link?
Hello, I'm working on the multiple categorical data (5-points scale) using linear mixed effect model and wondering if anyone knows about or works on the linear mixed effect model with ordered logit or probit link. I found that the "lmer" function in R is very flexible and supports various models, but not ordered logit/probit models. I may conduct my analysis by turning my DVs into nested dichotonomies, but just wonder if there is anyway that I can do this without transforming my DVs. Any help or suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
