nominal scaled variables

Post by vhinz »

Hi everybody,

I have a dataset with variables on a nominal scaling (binary-coded as well as with several values). Can I use those variables in a PLS-Model and how would I do that? Do I have to introduce dummy variables?

Thanks in advance,
Vera

Hi Vera,
yes, in the same way that we do in multiple regression (dummy).
Best regards.
