They are mutually exclusive. So the dependent variable is -- whether or not someone got in trouble. Then we think that the model might predict differently for someone got into serious trouble vs someone who got into minor trouble. Minor trouble and serious trouble are mutually exclusive. thanks On Fri, Mar 16, 2012 at 10:15 AM, Richard Williams <richardwilliams.ndu@gmail.com> wrote: > At 07:59 AM 3/16/2012, Christine Zozula wrote: >> >> Hi statalist, >> >> Our dependent variable is dichotomous: whether or not someone received >> a sanction for misconduct.
