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. Common Mstake: Use of the nternally coded values of a categorcal explanatory varable drectly n lnear regresson modelng calculaton. Race : Whte =, Black =, Hspanc =. Number of hours of exercse per week Use of ndcator varables x and x for Race varable x = represen Whte, otherwse x = 0, x = represen Black, otherwse x = 0, x = 0 and x = 0 represen Hspanc. : y = α + β x + β x + β x Body Fat Percentage Number of hours of exercse per week Race : y = α + β x + β x + β x Body Fat Percentage Race Interpretaton of the model: Race: Whte x = and x = 0, y = α + β + β x Race: Black x = 0 and x =, y = α + β + β x Race: Hspanc x = 0 and x = 0, y = α + β x 4 4
