TLDR
The theoretical features and properties, which include parameters, variable selection, and model evaluation, followed by comparisons of the disadvantages and advantages of both models were analytically reviewed.Abstract:
Many social studies analyze attitude responses using the linear regression model. This model typically treats questionnaire data as continuous scales, although the data is merely ordinal. One type of regression model that is more appropriate to analyze rank-order responses is the Ordinal Logistic Regression (OLR) model. In addition to the use of regression, the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model has recently been applied in various studies. This paper delivered comparative descriptions of both the ANN and OLR models. The theoretical features and properties, which include parameters, variable selection, and model evaluation, followed by comparisons of the disadvantages and advantages of both models were analytically reviewed.

Financial well‐being amongst elderly Australians: the role of consumption patterns and financial literacy
TL;DR: The authors used an existing financial literacy index to examine how financial literacy directly, and via an interaction with consumption patterns, affects elderly Australians' financial well-being, and found that most elderly Australians hold an optimistic attitude towards their financial situation, and those who are relatively older, more educated, healthier and outright homeowners are more likely to report higher levels of financial wellbeing.
