are binary parameters considered dic variables? what kind of variable is binary bic what is the purpose of binary parameter what is the penalty for using binary variable do binary parameters count for binary criteria what if there are discrete parameters do binary parameters count as full parameters why is bic penalized which variable can be a discrete or binary variable that is a binary indicator variable? what is the purpose of bic? what is the definition of binary parameter why does binary variable count as a full parameter does the number of parameters on the binary indicator mean a variable how do binary variables count what is binary parameters can we calculate binary parameters what type of variables are binary parameters can bic be penalized for discrete variable which of the following is a discrete variable that is considered to be bic how to account for the __________ of parameters?
