Identifying influential variables
In order to identify variables from the data set which were potentially influential an
ordinal logistic regression model was estimated for each item. All background data
(demographic, study intentions, parental education, school subject options and future
study intentions and school) were tried for each item. In all cases most variables proved
to have no explanatory value. Only those which could not be ignored without reducing
the accuracy of the model were considered for presentation below.
