- Functions and data structures to recode categorical variables into
- vectors and sub-rows of matrices.
-
- To fit many types of statistical models, it is necessary
- to change each value of a categorical variable to a vector with binary
- entries. These vectors are then stored as sub-rows within a matrix
- during model-fitting. We need functions and data strucutres to,
- e.g., map a value, say 'a', of a variable named 'cat_var', to a
- vector, say (0 1 0 0 0), and vice versa. We also need to be able
- to map the vector back to the value 'a', and if the vector is a
- sub-row of a matrix, we need to know which sub-row corresponds to
- the variable 'cat_var'.
