In thischapter and the next, I will explain how qualitative explanatory variables, calledfactors, can beincorporated into a linear current chapter begins with an explanation of how adummy-variable regressorcan becoded to represent adichotomous( , two-category) factor. I proceed to show how a set of dummyregressors can be employed to represent apolytomous(many-category) factor.
