Categorial variables can be used as the dependent variables or independent variables. But whatever the case, categorical variables require special treatment in estimation to capture the impacts we are interested in. When dependent variables are categorical data we use a special branch of estimation models called discrete choice models, including logit model, ordered probit model, and multinomial logit model. When categorical variables are used as independent variables, the most common method for including categorical data in regressions is to create dummy variables for each possible category.

Following the previous question, I am confused about there’s no obvious change in applications for family crisis support under the pandemic. Could anyone kindly help me with it?

Hello. As you may be also aware, there may be more victims of domestic violence during the pandemic as people have to stay home and there’s no place to get away from families disputes or fights. Therefore, I am very curious about how many people have applied for the services of the Family Crisis Support Center. Does anyone know that number in 2020?

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?

I have designed a large-scale survey about the life satisfaction of low-income families in Hong Kong. Is it appropriate to use the electronic survey through mobile phones?
