Common Questions:<\/p>\n
Number of observations (rows):<\/p>\n
Generally speaking, the more the better<\/p>\n
At least 15 observations<\/p>\n
Feel free to cut your original sample if it is too big<\/p>\n
Examples: each row is for one year, one individual or a combination of year and individual<\/p>\n
Dataset Type 1: time series (the same individual for multiple time periods)<\/p>\n
Dataset Type 2 : cross-sectional data (multiple individuals for the same time period)<\/p>\n
Dataset Type 3: panel data (multiple individuals for multiple time periods)<\/p>\n
Number of variables of interest (columns):<\/p>\n
At least 2<\/p>\n
Variable type:<\/p>\n
Numerical: use as they are or create categories<\/p>\n
Categorical: create binary variables if more than two categories<\/p>\n
For example, eye color: blue(1), green(2), brown(3), others (4). To include eye color in your regression as an independent variable, you need to create four binary variables, <\/p>\n
e.g. Blue = 1 if eye color is blue; 0 otherwise;
Green = 1 if eye color is green; 0 otherwise; <\/p>\n
Brown = 1 if eye color is brown; 0 otherwise; <\/p>\n
Others = 1 if eye color is not blue, green or brown; 0 otherwise. <\/p>\n
Then you include three out of the four binary variables as your independent variables.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
