Question

Consider a regression study involving a dependent variable y, a quantitative independent variable x 1 , and a categorical independent variable with three possible levels (level 1, level 2, and level 3).

  1. How many dummy variables are required to represent the categorical variable?
  2. Write a multiple regression equation relating and the categorical variable to y.
  3. Interpret the parameters in your regression equation.
Consider a regression study involving a dependent variable y, a quantitative independent variable 1, and a categorical independent variable with three possible levels (level 1, level 2
and level 3).
a. How many dummy variables are required to represent the categorical variable?
b. Consider the following regression equation relating æ1 and the categorical variable to y.
E(y) Bo + B1a1 + B2a2 + Bza3
Enter the values of dummy variables az and 23 that are used to indicate the three levels of the categorical variable.
