Linearity control when treating a categorical dependent variable as continous



Hello,

I am estimating firm's rating changes (each category is equally
spaced) and distribution is symmetrical, there are about 10
categories.

Instead of ordered-probit I would like to use OLS. I would like to
check and see if the deviations from the linearity are statistically
significant in the dependent variable.



Thanks,

 Doruk ILGAZ
