Dummy variables
For the 60 months, values of the variable would thus be: 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0. Such values can be entered into a regression programme, included in a multiple regression equation and treated just like any other normal variable.

Hmm sounds like you have a head for math, can u teach me some math? my math sucks :(( maybe a beautiful teacher like u can make me love math ... :D i expect so aww
ReplyDeleteBut well, maybe when you are telling me math i might try to be very hardworking for impressing my beautiful blue eyed teacher,so that she will think positive about me :)) and relax and think about her when i go home and concentrate on my studies so as to keep on effecting u with my performance in math
ReplyDeleteHmm ok, so well study well for your exams and afterwards i want you to teach me all of your math knowledge the best way of learning something is sometimes comes with teaching it ,hmmm and maybe i can teach you flirting then eheheh
ReplyDeleteHow can you teach something with which you seem to fail at utterly anyway?
ReplyDeleteYay for binaries.
Oh no... no, they're not binaries.
ReplyDeleteThey're just some sort of answers from a study.
Like if the question is "does it rain?" and the variables are "yes" and "no", then you can say 1 is yes, and 0 is no.
Instead of actually saying 'yes or no' they just write a number. So that you have to know everything about the study to make sense of it.
OH.
ReplyDeleteOh, okay. They're not binaries. They're booleans. Well, kind of. Booleans make 1 = true(or yes, in this case) and 0 = false(or no).
I used them a lot in computer sciences, way back in the day before I took up journalism. I haven't a damn clue what a regression programme is though. Sounds like some kind of eugenics concentration camp.
