Dear Allstat, I am just correcting a manuscript and, since I am not a native speaker, I wonder if I should write "an at least ordinal scaled variable" or "an at least ordinally scaled variable" Could anyone help me ? Many thanks in advance! Best regards, Anne-Laure Boulesteix www.statistik.lmu.de/~socher Department of Statistics, University of Munich Akademiestr. 1, D-80799 Munich (Germany)
