Abstract
In this note we briefly discuss the structure of CUB models and their interpretation. Furthermore, we elaborate some issues related to the comparison of CUB models with mainstream approaches, focusing on generalized linear models for univariate ordinal responses and classical latent variable models for multivariate ordinal responses.
