Member Training: Dummy and Effect Coding

Why does ANOVA give main effects in the presence of interactions, but Regression gives marginal effects?

What are the advantages and disadvantages of dummy coding and effect coding? When does it make sense to use one or the other?

How does each one work, really?

In this webinar, we’re going to go step-by-step through a few examples of how dummy and effect coding each tell you different information about the effects of categorical variables, and therefore which one you want in each situation.

Note: This training is an exclusive benefit to members of the Statistically Speaking Membership Program and part of the Stat’s Amore Trainings Series. Each Stat’s Amore Training is approximately 90 minutes long.
