If you use linear regression, then you're essentially considering the order of ys (which is called "1", "2", etc.) to be meaningful, which is already wrong. You also make predictions like 2.5 or predictions that are outside the range of ys, neither of which is meaningful. How will you deal with these cases? I don't understand what you mean by whether such a model is "valid". It is definitely an inferior model. | |
| Jul 15, 2014 at 15:38 | comment | added | saifuddin778 | Yes sir, that's true. Yes, I can employ the multinomial logit for such data. But my question is, theoretically speaking, the y values are all continuous and independent from x. If I feed such a data to a multilinear regression model, will it be a valid step or not? Moreover, the fit that I will obtain, what do you think about its predictions? | |
