Amadou:
If your discrete variable is consists of zeros and
ones, than you usually don't have to. If one
variable distinguishes between more than two
groups, than you can use -xi- prefix.

Subject: st: Continuous vs discrete variables.
Hi,
I know this question has been once answered by Kit Baum.
But I search the list and could not retrieve the thread.
How could I tell stata to distinguish between continuous and
discrete (categorical or dummy type) variables?
Best regards.
Amadou.
