\title{Obtain A List of Cut-offs for Scale Usage Problems}
\description{
\code{cgetC} obtains a list of censoring points, or cut-offs, used in the ordinal multivariate probit model of Rossi et al (2001). This approach uses a quadratic parameterization of the cut-offs. The model is useful for modeling correlated ordinal data on a scale from \eqn{1} to \eqn{k} with different scale usage patterns.
}
\usage{cgetC(e, k)}
\arguments{
\item{e}{ quadratic parameter (\eqn{0 <} \code{e} \eqn{< 1}) }
\item{k}{ items are on a scale from \eqn{1,\ldots, k} }
}
\section{Warning}{This is a utility function which implements \strong{no} error-checking.}
\value{A vector of \eqn{k+1} cut-offs.}
