The termsdummy variableand binary variable are sometimes used interchangeably. However, they are not exactly the same thing. A dummy variable is used inregression analysisto quantifycategorical variablesthat don’t have any relationship. For example, you could code 1 as Caucasian, 2 as African Amer...
I have been asked to calculate the Standardized difference for continuous and categorical variables. I understand how to do it for the continuous variables but am unsure how to do it for the binary categorical variables. This is the code I use for the continuous variables where x and ...

This categorical data encoding method transforms the categorical variable into a set of binary variables (also known as dummy variables). In the case of one-hot encoding, for N categories in a variable, it uses N binary variables. The dummy encoding is a small improvement over one-hot-...

This chapter addresses binary logistic regression, a procedure used to analyze the effects of categorical and continuous explanatory measures on a dichotomous response variable. In doing so, it uses examples based on the horse-racing data as well as the 2008 American National Election Study and the...
The values of a nominal (or categorical) attribute are symbols or names of things, where each value represents some kind of category, code, or state. ■ Binary attributes are nominal attributes with only two possible states (such as 1 and 0 or true and false). If the two states are equ...
