Re: st: Re: (no subject)
Hello statalisters,
Please pardon the new kid on the block for not asking a question in a
more respectable and succinct in my question. One should approach such
things with humility if they are to expect a response. The original
question was not thought out with enough forethought before posting.
I am very new to STATA and would like to ensure that while running a
model, STATA understands that a certain variable is categorical
(actually binary response, either yes or no). It seems from the
response post that as long as the values I have entered for the variable
are binary, that STATA will understand the variable as categorical.
Thank you for all that may be inclined to assist me,
Most humbly,
Ian

Hard to tell what your question is as your post is way too terse, but
just -tabulate- the variable and see whether there are only two values
or more. Or even better -inspect- the thing and Stata tells you how
many unique values there are...
HTH
Martin

How do ensure Stata reads my variables that I want to be categorical
(binary) as such?
Thank you...
