contents In the context of regression-type statistical models, the inclusion of some ordered factors among the explanatory variables requires the conversion of qualitative levels to numeric components of the linear predictor. The present note represent a follow-up of a methodology proposed by Azzalini (2023} for constructing numeric scores assigned to the factors levels. The aim of the present supplement it to allow additional flexibility of the mapping from ordered levels and numeric scores.
