“…However, the ability to leave variables in their original categories and still employ them directly in linear regression without violating the assumptions for linear regression is promising for meaningful, easily interpretable results. Where analysis of data sets comprising nominal, ordinal, and numerical data is required, CROS may be preferred over general linear models because it allows both nominal and ordinal variables to be used directly in linear regression models (Adewale et al, 2019). Beyond the obvious benefit of being able to analyze data at any level of measurement, CROS also reduces multicollinearity and models nonlinear relationships.…”

“…To date, there is limited to no published policing research employing CROS, but the method has been successfully used in studies related to business (Figini et al, 2010), environmental design (Adewale et al, 2019; Kwon et al, 2019), and health (Shrestha, 2009). Moreover, the concept of least-squares optimization has existed for centuries, being first defined by Gauss in the 18th century (Bretscher, 2012).…”

Most use-of-force policies utilized by U.S. police agencies make fundamental ordinal assumptions about officers’ force responses to subject resistance. These policies consist of varying levels of force and resistance along an ordinally ranked continuum of severity. We empirically tested the ordinal assumptions that are ubiquitous to police use-of-force continua within the United States using 1 year’s use-of-force data from a municipal police department. Applying a quantitative technique known as categorical regression with optimal scaling, we found the assumptions of ordinality within the studied department’s use-of-force continuum (which is similar to many police use-of-force continua within the United States) are not met. Specifying physical force as a “lower” force option than less-lethal tools is associated with increased officer injury and decreased subject injury. Our findings call into question use-of-force continua featuring ordinal rankings for varying categories of less-lethal force.

“…The environment subsystem, often split into neighbourhood facilties and social environment (Mohit & Azim, 2012) is measured along several variables such as quality of communal and social interactions, urban infrastructure, proximity to workplace, schools, markets and shopping facilities, recreation and sports, healthcare, school, prices of goods and services, job opportunities, level of crime and anti-social behaviour, relationship with neighbours, quality of communal activities et cetera (Ibem et al, 2016;Abdu & Hashim, 2015). The management subsystem is commonly described in terms of rent/cost of housing, rules and regulations of residency, facility management (FM), allocation process and sometimes, security to life and property (Adewale et al, 2018;Jiboye, 2010;Onibokun, 1974).…”

Residential satisfaction has been employed to assess housing environments across several disciplines. However, measurement of variables remains an issue across large and small samples. This study assesses residential satisfaction in Gombe, Northeast Nigeria using the Housing Habitability System framework to ascertain it's consistency across different locations and sample sizes. A mixed methodology including informal interviews and a questionnaire survey of 41 public housing residents in Gombe analysed in SPSS for descriptive and inferential statistics revealed that findings were consistent with four characteristics of residential satisfaction studies employing the framework identified across the country from previous studies. Specifically, results established that residents of public housing in Gombe were generally dissatisfied with their housing environments. Additionally, satisfaction followed the dwelling-neighbourhood-management sequence found in literature. Eight components extracted from principal component analysis reflect housing conditions in the study area. The study concludes that measurements based on tenets of Housing Habitability System framework produces consistent results across regions and different sample sizes and is beneficial for comparative purposes towards improvement of residential satisfaction research in Nigeria.

“…In developing nations, typical central areas of urban centers are notorious for low housing standards and a declining community climate. There is however a lack of observational research on the degree to which inhabitants of such regions are satisfied with their housing conditions [3]. The prevalence of inadequate housing conditions not only impacts the quality of life of people but also threatens the pursuit of the aim of "sufficient housing for all" [4].…”
