In ridit analysis scale values are assigned to the categories of an ordinal response variable, the ridits. Ridit analysis is described as a technique to compare groups of observations and to measure the association between ordinal and nominal variables by mean ridits. By their definition mean ridits are closely related to distribution‐free methods. Mean ridits are also used as a tool to test the main and/or interaction effects of factors on an ordinal response variable.
