"The book is intended to be a starter for somebody not familiar with the subject. It was written primarily for social scientists (published in the CRC Statistics in the Social and Behavioral Sciences Series) and as such, it can be read easily without any statistical pre-requisites beyond very basic Statistics and some working knowledge of logistic regression. Nevertheless, the book is certainly useful far beyond the social sciences themselves – in particular for epidemiologists, medical researchers and also statisticians of students of Statistics/Biostatistics who want to learn basic facts about ordered regression and perhaps motivate further study of this interesting field. The style of exposition is quite informal and intuitive."~International Society for Clinical Biostatistics
