categories(gender) ans =2x1 cell{'Female'} {'Male' } To use the dummy variables in a regression model, you must either delete a column (to create a reference group) or fit a regression model with no intercept term. For the gender example, you need only one dummy variable to represent...
As a general rule, you will create one less dummy variable than the number of categories in your categorical independent variable. For example, if you have a categorical independent variable with three categories (e.g., favourite_sport, with the following three categories: "swimming", "cycling"...
To develop the present research, we used a more comprehensive sample, with all categories of multimarket funds, and also other measures to estimate the premium lock-up: a dummy variable and the natural logarithm of the lockup period. Liquidity Restrictions on Investment Funds: Are they a Respons...

I have a dataset with 8 categorical variables "Var1" "Var2"..."Var8" Each categorical variable has different unique values. I want to create dummy variables for each of the "Var#" variable in this table and these new dummy variables need to be renamed as "Var1_1", "...
In this chapter, we explain how to introduce categorical variables in a regression analysis, coding the categories with dummy variables. This is needed in most of the applications of regression analysis, since the samples on which we collect our data are typically partitioned into groups. In the...
