simply ignored. Modeling continuous data (or categorical data of more than 2 categories) as a binary variable for analysis purposes is called dichotomization...

sometimes called one-cold. In statistics, dummy variables represent a similar technique for representing categorical data. One-hot encoding is often used for...

categorical variables dependent on multiple priors sharing a hyperprior; we have categorical variables with dependent children (the latent variable topic...

Categorical: Represent groups of objects with a particular characteristic. Categorical variables can either be nominal or ordinal. Nominal variables for...

A variable which codes for the presence or absence of such a property is called a binary categorical variable, or equivalently a dummy variable. Some...
