Abstract/Contents:"Objectives of turfgrass research often require evaluation of turf quality. Turf quality is composed of several factors (color, density, uniformity, and texture) making quantification difficult. Evaluations typically involve assigning scores to turf plots using a scale of 1 to 9. Scores have traditionally been analyzed as continuous data, using ANOVA techniques to test hypotheses of treatment equality. These data are actually discrete (ordinal), and violate assumptions required for ANOVA. The proportional odds model (POM) accounts for the multivariate distribution of quality data. The POM estimates treatment parameters and predicts cumulative probability distributions (i.e. the probability of treatment #2 to receive a rating of "4"). The POM offers appropriate and powerful treatment comparisons and the results are independent of the category scores. Example data analyses using macros developed by the authors will be discussed."
