Hello, I am trying to do a logistic regression and have one predictor variable (x) that is ratio and two predictor variables (y and z) that are categorical. These have three levels each which I have called "High", "Medium" and "Low". My question: do I need to use a numerical coding scheme for the categorical variables as required by some statistical software packages, with some sort of numeric dummy-variable coding?
I am using: glm(binvar~x+y+z, family=binomial(link="logit")) Thanks, Ravi Kulkarni -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/Coding-of-categorical-variables-for-logistic-regression-tp1694250p1694250.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
