  • Aim 1: Develop R functions for implementing L1 penalized ordinal models.
  • Aim 2: Empirically examine the performance of the L1 penalized models and competitor ordinal response models by performing a simulation study and applying the models to publicly available microarray datasets.
  • Aim 3: Develop an R package for fitting a random-effects ordinal regression model for clustered/longitudinal ordinal response data.
  • Aim 4: Extend the random-effects ordinal regression model to include an L1 penalty term to accomodate high-dimensional covariate spaces and empirically examine the performance of the L1 penalized random effects ordinal regression model through application to microarray dataset.
