Hi,

I want to estimate an ordered probit model in matlab. I 
have three categories so the dependent variable is not 
simply binary. I think the function mnrfit is the right one 
for it. But I do not want it to include an intercept term 
which it automatically does. The glmfit function allows one 
to disable the constant term. Is it possible to do 
something like this too for the mnrfit function?

Or are there other functions within Matlab that i can use 
to estimate an ordered probit model.

Regards
Sujata
