Hope you are doing great. I want to fit a logistic regression in R, where
the dependent variable is the covid status (I used 1 for covid positives,
and 0 for covid negatives), but when I ran the glm, R complains that I
should make the dependent variable a factor.
What would be more advisable, to keep the dependent variable with 1s and
0s, or code it as yes/no and then make it a factor?
Paul,
1 or 0 are equivalent to yes or no, success or failure. All are nomminal
variables so all should be factors, regardless of the coding.
