Σύνοψη	Ordinal logistic regression models an ordered categorical outcome — such as a Likert rating, a satisfaction level, or an education tier — as a function of predictors. It is the ordinal extension of logistic regression, developed in standard treatments such as Agresti's Analysis of Ordinal Categorical Data (2010), and in its most common form it is the proportional odds model.	Latent class analysis identifies unobserved subgroups — latent classes — within a population by finding patterns of responses across a set of categorical observed indicators. It is the categorical-variable counterpart of cluster analysis, but grounded in an explicit probabilistic model, and is widely used in social, health, and behavioral sciences to discover typologies in survey or diagnostic data.
