Dear all,
I search an idea to create variables which represents all the possible
pattern of responses to a set of binary variables, for example with 3
variables :
var1 var2 var3
0 0 0
0 0 1
0 1 0
0 1 1
1 0 0
1 0 1
1 1 0
1 1 1
I have searched a command to convert a decimal number in binary format (here the responses patterns represents the number from 0 to 7 in binary format) but I have not find any such command.
I have no simple idea to create such variables (I want to create a programme where the number of variables is not fixed and can be large).
Has someone an idea to help me ?
Best,
Jean-Benoit
