When comparng the dfference n average wegh between genders, and adjusted for age and heght varables, the dfference s statstcally nsgnfcant. How to nclude a categorcal varable n the model? The proper way to nclude a categorcal varable s to use ndcator varables. For havng a categorcal varable wth k categores, one should set up k ndcator varables. Race varable: Whte =, Black =, Hspanc =. - ndcator varables wll be needed.
