Nice explanation but i do have a question. How do you convert the "M" and "F" character to 1 and 0 as numeric??

[@jktmlsna8477]

Super nice explanation, seems basic but is very much necessary to know. But at 4:59, you said nominal and interval scales are collectively called categorical, which confused me, and I think there should be nominal and ordinal scales instead.
