Subject:      Goodness of Fit in Ordinal Logistic
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1

Dear All,

As I understand it, in ordinal logistic regression
Model chi-square and Deviance chi-square may be both
used to assess goodness-of-fit of the model. Also,
that Model chi-square needs to be significant whereas
Deviance chi-square must not for a good model fit.
What happens when Model chi-square is found
non-significant, and Deviance chi-square is also found
non-significant? Which of the two statistics is to be
followed? This is not a hypothetical question, it is
the result SPSS produced for one of my datasets.

Thank you in advance.
