Subject: st: creating dummy variables out of categorical variables
Hello,
I am trying to create dummy variables from a categorical variable that
takes values from 1-9.Is there a quick and convenient way of doing this? My
current option, which involves doing a series of "generate dummyi=
(catvar==i)" seems tedious. Thanks.
