Dear R users, I have a simple question (probably) but i couldnt how to find a solution for that.
i am using 2 digit industry codes and 3 digit industry codes for my model, and i need to create dummies for the industries. The case is simple for the 2-digit industries since there are not that mcuh of them, so i am creating my dummies as following ind_2da<-(ind_2d==11)#for the 11th industry ind_2dc<-(ind_2d==12)#for the 12th industry and so on so forth ... then i directly put the dummy into the regression which works well. but creating dummies for the 3-digit is rather complicated since there are alot of sub-industries, for example:111,112,113...119 and this is just for the 11th industry so when i consider the codes continues till 40, it would be exhausting to do it by hand. so i was looking for the loop commands to do it faster but since i am a newbie i got lost in it. so is there some one who can help me for this problem? thanks in advance _________________________________________________________________ [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
