In this tutorial, we
show how to perform a dummy coding for categorical predictor
variables in the context of the logistic regression learning process.
In fact, this is an
old tutorial that I was written a long time ago (2007), but it is not
referenced in this blog (which was created in 2008). I found it in my
archives because I plan to write soon a tutorial about the strategies for the selection
of categorical variables in logistic regression. I was wondering
if I had already written something that may be linked to this subject
(the treatment of the categorical predictors in logistic regression)
in the past. Obviously, I would have to check most often my archives.
We use Tanagra 1.4.50 in this tutorial.
