Analyzing Ordinal Data in SAS using the Binary, Binomial, and Beta Distribution.

This will post will build on previous posts — an introductory post on PROC GLIMMIX and a post showing how to analyze ordinal data using the ordinal and multinomial distribution. This post will extend those posts by analyzing the same dataset — diarrhea scores measured in pigs across time. Here, diarrhea is measured subjectively using an ordinal scoring system.
