why do you convert the indicator variables when calculating indicator variables what is the purpose of each variable conversion do factor variables need to be continuous what is a continuous predictor variable why do we convert the x into factor? what is continuous predictor convert factor to indicator variable do you consider factors and variables to be continuous variables are indicator variables continuous are indicator variables continuous? convert factor into indicator variable why would a factor be treated as a continuous predictor how to convert factors to indicator variable are indicators continuous predictors what is the inverse of continuous predictors? do factor variable counts as continuous convert factors to indicator variables what is the function of factor indicators when you convert factors into indicator variables do you treat them as continuous variables or independent variables? what if i convert a factor into an indicator variable
