What can the intercepts from polr be used to?

Hi,
I estimated in total 10 ordered logit regressiona using the polr function and I have 10 variables in each where most of them have many categories. So, I do not think it make sense to determine each proability. However, the intercepts itself are not so much useable (as far I understooth).
Do you have any suggestions/recommendation for what I can do? What are the options using R?
The polr is from the MASS package, just to let you know.

Run the examples from help(polr), shown below in the reprex. To better understand them, read through the rest of the help page carefully. If still uncertain read one or both of

Agresti, A. (2002) Categorical Data. Second edition. Wiley.
Venables, W. N. and Ripley, B. D. (2002) Modern Applied Statistics with S. Fourth edition. Springer.

or a text with similar coverage. If those are not helpful, it is probably necessary to get some formal instruction. We should never use features of R that we don't fully understand.

Thanks, I will have a look at these books. Can you explain what these two plots shows/indicate?

Sorry, that I was to early for asking before I do my own reaserch.. as far I understooth the second plot is actually a scatterplot.. then it can be used to detect outliers, right? However the second plot I still do not know how to interpret.. the same for the first plot.

That's right, an x-vector against a y-vector, derived from the pr object, which is of profile.polr, which is a very complex object. I can't tell just from looking at it which two vectors are being plotted and wouldn't use it until I understood.
