Video 5: Dummy Variables

[@cedq4957]

Man, it is really worrying to me that a 20 minute video taught me a lot more than 3 hours in class with our professor...I feel like so much money is spend for nothing in the academic world

[@MrSpiritmonger]

school is to weed out people who can follow instructions and good memory. KZbin can sometimes teach you A LOT more than school. (I have a PhD and two masters and undergrad from top 10 university)

[@yiminshi5362]

@@MrSpiritmonger My god, this video answered all my questions that I couldn't figure out by watching our professors video over and over again.

[@eone3102]

How are you sure it is your professor and not your will power, focus and attention that made the difference.

[@sitinurhidayusharin1892]

The explanation on each detail really make me understood this topic even better. Every examples and detail really give the clear picture of this topic.

[@Hari-cz3od]

Such an art of teaching! Grateful to your video that saves me in both Econometrics and Data Science graduate classes. The series should be introduced to much more learners! Thank you so much!

[@larrylaw3693]

Can't thank you enough prof! Really simple yet elaborated explanation! :)

[@Skritsky]

This series of videos seems to be the best of its kind. Thank you!

[@sitinursyazwana5031]

As a student this video is truely make me more understand. The explanation is very easy to understand with the example. Now I know on how to interpret more than two categories through this video.

[@najihaazhar8634]

The explaination about the dummy variable as you have explained using more than one examples is really helpful. I manage to undertand the dummy variables rather than before.

[@rasyimahramli5b125]

I glad that I watch this video. The explanation really great, compact yet concise. As a university student its easy for me to understand the content. Thank you so much for your great work.

[@AmitSingh-pe2xw]

This is one of the best explanation for dummy variable. Thank you so much for your help and kindness. You are the best professor

[@fatinaliah7287]

The explanation with example really help me to understand more on this chapters. Thank you

[@nurulamira8975]

Its look very hard to understand at first, but then when you come out with good example I manage to be more understand on how the dependent dummy variable changing depending categories. Thank you for very simple explanations .

[@amirulezuar9754]

For this video, it shows and helps how to interpret coefficient with two categories

[@josvandeneynde5849]

Nice and well explained video. Saved me a lot of time going through old text books where intuition about these concepts is often much more difficult to get. Keep up the good work dataminingcae!

[@liaalia789]

By watching this video, it help me to understand more about what dummy variable is. It helps me to understand how to interpet the coefficient. Thank you for you explanation

[@anatimahmud3823]

the example you give makes me more understanding about the dummy, especially on how to use it and interpret it. During this pandemic, your video is very suitable for us students to learn about the dummy variables.

[@nurulainnadhirah4379]

The concept of dummy variables was very clearly explained. As a student, it's easy for me to understand the content after I watch this video. Thank you so much for helping me.

[@anisafifahfarzana326]

At first, it is complicated for me to understand on how to interpret when we have more than two categories, but then I manage to understand clearly based on your explaination. It is very interesting video with a great graphical example.

[@Hans-pc1vc]

Best video I have encountered on this topic. Thank you!

[@alifradzali6961]

It all about the dummy variable and i slowly learn what is dummy variable. How to use and and interpret it in the coefficient in a multiple or multivariate linear regression. It take time for me to understand it. However, i like your video because giving a simple example to make me understand more about it. Thanks in advance. :)

[@yiakhangpaxang8086]

This is the greatest explaination. Thank you so much for your help and kindness. You are the best professor

[@kaushikbhadresha]

Simple, crisp and made is very easy to understand. Thanks

It hard to understand on how to interpret when we have more than two categories, but then I manage to understand clearly when watch this video. I am glad to watch this video. It is very interesting video as it simple explanation that make me more understand.

[@imadeadblueangel]

i struggled understanding what is this dumb*** dummy variables are the entire semester and got 0 for interpreting the coefficient wrongly in mid term exam, thank god i found this video!!! make sense now on the comparing expected salary of treatment group to the control variable!!! thank you, you are awesome!!!!

[@nurfarrahumairah3475]

From this video, i can know how to interpret the coefficients in a multiple and multivariate regression because the lecturer using the simplest example to understand what actually he talking about. Thanks for this interesting video !

[@nurulisfahani108]

From the video, now I know much better and understand how to interpret coefficients in regression analysis. The explanation is very well to understand by using graphics. Thank you sharing the input.

[@anisasyhikeen5448]

I found an easy way to interpret the coefficient when we have more than two categories. This video helps me a lot on understanding about dummy variables.

From the video i understand how to interpret the two categories. Also the problems of variables. Thank you so much for this knowledge. 👍

[@farahnadiah2308]

It is very useful for me due to the explanation and the example are close to me as a student. It make me figure out what dummy do and how to explained it.

[@syazninajwa5b183]

after watching this video, now i become more clearly about dummy variables and the way to construct and interpret their coefficient. thanks for this video and explanation. its also interesting.

[@ismahnadhirah3756]

I have difficulty to understand on how to interpret when we have more than 2 categories before, but with your useful explanation, i can understand it clearly now. Thank you for your explanation

[@nurfatinsyuhada5593]

From the video now I know how to make a solution and interpret dummy variables coefficients even in multiple or in multivariate linear regression . It helps me a lot in understanding the lecture given because it gave us some simple examples for us to understand

Excellent explanation. Thank you so much

[@nisajamail7225]

Thank you for the video. I think, I am more understand with dummy variables and why we used of 0 and 1 at the e-views data.

[@chanle5989]

Thank you so much! I really needed this for my thesis!

[@atiqahzainuddin7267]

Can't thank enough. I do understand more on how to intrepret the coefficient when there are more than two catagories

[@E.Khan04]

Amazing, awesome, fantastic.... are very small words for your videos..... I just love you!

[@nurulnajihah9499]

Thank you for your explanation 👍, now i can understand better

[@nasrulakmal3791]

It is hard understanding. But the explained was good to be the references . For example The problem with the ctegorical variable is what number should give to the different categories . I can more understand with repeating the video . Thank you

[@bhaktikelkar499]

Thanks a ton! This video was extremely helpful

[@amosavi4730]

Very clear and useful... Thanks a lot

[@fatinnabilahhassan3927]

As indicator variables, as they will generally have a value of 1 to indicate if an observation belongs to a category and a 0 to indicate if not. They called the dummy because they are not real. This video is about 26, 253 professors salary in US. DV is salary and IV are qualification (academic&professional) and rank (assistant, associate,full&intructor).

[@ainaida794]

This video basically similar with previous video but further discussion on differences between continuous and categorical variables in regression.

[@debk4516]

wow..thanks you so much for this video

[@ratanpsm]

Very good lecture. Things are clear and very well explained. A great job done by you dear faculty. I will like to search more lectures of you. Can you help??

[@Pommespanzerzockt]

Hey man. Just wanted to let you know my Uni links to your vids as preparation, and you do them very well. Thanks for everything!

[@nykollas6601]

Exceptional work !!

[@Mgilsy]

Wauw! This video is absolutely great. Good job!

[@josenino9795]

This comment is an attempt at the "homework" problem assigned at the end. If you see anything wrong with my solution, then please feel free to correct me! Hopefully, this serves as a good guide on how to approach this problem. Salary = β0 + β1•Professional + β2•Assistant + β3•Associate + β4•Full + ε First, let's start with just distinguishing each binary dummy variable: If β1= 0, then the person is a professional; if β1= 1, then the person is an academic If β2 =0, then the person is not an assistant; if β1= 1, then the person is an assistant If β3 =0, then the person is not an associate; if β1= 1, then the person is an associate If β4 =0, then the person is not a full professor; if β1= 1, then the person is a full professor Following this reasoning, if all the dummy variables were 0, then the person would be an academic who is not an assistant, associate, or a full professor. Remember the general rule that if there is k categories, use k-1 dummy variables. Since there are four dummy variables, that means we are analyzing 5 categories (at least in the way that I understand it). Based on categories from the dataset, the non-dummy variable is instructor. Thus, if we set all of our dummy variables equal to zero, the coefficient of β0 would yield the salary of an academic instructor. Therefore, we can deduce the following equations, categories, and therefore salaries for five different ranks of professors based on the coefficient of β0 (an academic instructor). β0 = Academic Instrcutor = 81.2179 = $81,217.9 β0 + β1 = Professional Instructor = 81.2179 + (-22.7707) = 58.4472 = $58,447.2 β0 + β2 = Academic Assistant = 81.2179 + 27.0501 = 109.2680 = $108,268 β0 + β3 = Academic Associate = 81.2179 + 30.5468 = 111.7647 = $111,764.7 β0 + β4 = Academic Full (Professor) = 81.2179 + 57.0336 = 138.2515 = $138,251.5 Figuring out the salary of the last set of professors is a little tricky, but we can figure it out by just thinking about β1. Remembering that if β1 = 1, a person is a professional. A person being an assistant implies that they are not an associate or full professor. In general, you are either an instructor, assistant, associate, OR full (professor). No one can be two of these ranks at the same time; however, a person being a professional does not mean that they can't be an assistant, associate, or a full professor. Thus, we can deduce the following equations and therefore salaries for the last three ranks of professors (again, based on the salary of an academic instructor). β0 + β1 + β2 = Professional Assistant = 81.2179 + (-22.7707) + 27.0501 = 85.4973 = $85,497.3 β0 + β1 + β3 = Professional Associate = 81.2179 + (-22.7707) + 30.5468 = 88.994 = $88,994 β0 + β1 + β4 = Professional Full (Professor) = 81.2179 + (-22.7707) + 57.0336 = 115.4808 = $115,480.8 It's late so some of my logic is not explained very well, so if you have any questions just go ahead and ask! But assuming I didn't have some cataclysmic logical failure or arithmetic miscalculation, those are the average salaries of the 8 different types of professor positions. I am not certain that any of us would be able to test whether the salary differences between different ranks would be statistically significant without having the data ourselves to switch around the dummy variables.

[@arifengingunduz]

You have written wrong when distinguishing dummy variables. If β1= 0, then the person is a academic; if β1= 1, then the person is an professional should be like this. The rest is correct

[@lm2182]
