nominal variable

Problem: I have to build a multiple regression model where most of my predictor (independent) variables are categorical (nominal) but I'm running into a few problems due to some of the predictors being (perfectly) colinear. So I need to check for multicolinearity and remove redundant predictors...

Hey all. I'd like some input on a regression analysis. I have data that measures the reactions of individuals to a number of objects and to a number of questions. It looks something like this (Q=question): Q1 Q2 Q3... Obj1 45 23 52 Obj2 65 67 02 ... I have...

Short version: Does including a categorical nominal-level independent variable WITHOUT dummies still work as a simple control for other independent variables? e.g. for P = b0 + b1*Grades + b2*WordCount + b3*Sex + b4*Major With 6 possible categories for Major, I know b4 is meaningless since...

Hi, I've got two types of variables - nominal (mode choice (e.g. car, bike, etc...) and interval (income range (e.g. 10,000-15,000, 15,001-20,000, etc...). I am trying to figure out the best test to see if the variables are correlated, and then I want to test to see if the correlation is...

Hi everyone, I'm creating a structural equation model for my research by means of LISREL. Recently, i noticed that the order of my variables in my prelis file changed my entire model. I started by simply importing my spss file in Lisrel, updated the variable type and created a covariance matrix...

Hi everyone, I'm currently working on my thesis which involves mediation using nominal independents and dependents, as well as scale mediators. I understand that binary mediation is possible, using logit or probit models. However, is it possible to test for mediation when your dependent...
