Regression with categorical independent variables

In this video I show you how to use categorical independent variables, i.e. ordinal or nominal variables in your regression analysis.

You can find more information about regression here:

Good shit, homie. I was like, how the do I do this logistic regression when most of my categorical variables have many values... I couldn't wrap my head around it because the regression values didn't make any sense. I'm glad I found this video!

im into learning german and ML in same time and found your channel. how lucky am i?

Thanks for the excellent content. How should we report the data for a scenario where we have a categorical variable with three or more categories (2 or more dummies), where SPSS will generate a row with different Beta and significance for each dummie? I have seen articles where this scenario happens and only one row (Beta/significance) is reported to represent the whole variable. Thank you.

Very informative. My textbook wasn't helping much. I liked the simplicity.

what to do if we have a categorical varilable has more than 3 values, for example 10, do we need to create 9 more columns? What to do with ordinal variables? Thanks a lot

V. Good your way of teaching is superb

Can you please metric and nominal I assume nominal which meant selected options numbers, but how metric does works

Hello, I have a question. Is it possible to do regression analysis for two categorical variables and one continuous variable as independent variables, and a continuous variable as dependent variable?

[LilayMelkamu]

I have question, on my research paper i have one independet continous variable and four dependent variable in which three dependent variables are categorical with more than two caracterstics or values and one continous variables with more than 2 values. Therefore, what types of regression analysis should i use

My concern why ranch has one scoring number why we can’t give 1-3 or 1-5 number for example we are conducting survey

I have some question: I have an independent categorical variable with 3 categories (3 dummies). Then I generate my model and I found that just 1 of my 3 dummies is significant. Should I generate a new model removing those dummies that aren't significant? or should I report every Beta despite they aren't significant?

Terrible pronunciation :(
Please especially check how the term 'variable' is pronounced.
