Hi,

I am running multinomial regression on:

4 categorical predictors (responses to 4 questions) - (each of the 4 questions can be answered by one of 5 categories)
1 outcome/dependent variable, which is a rating score (with 5 categories)


To see if respondents responses to each of the 4 questions can be used to predict the rating score.

There are no covariates.

I am struggling to understand how the df in the likelihood ration tests are calculated - this = 64, and then in the Pearson and Deviance tests = 32.

Can anyone assist, or advise where I could find a clear explanation?

Many thanks

VB
