How to Create Dummy Codes in jamovi

In this video I demonstrate how to create dummy codes in jamovi. Specifically, I show how to use the Compute Variable 'IF' function to create a dummy-coded variable from a string source variable.

Thank you for this video

Brilliant! Thank you so much :D

Thanks for this video! Little question though: is it possible to change the equaling sign for a “contains”? In my example, I have a list of names, for example Lockhart, Miss Sally. In my variable I want to display whether the person is a man or a woman, so if the name contains miss I’d like it to display 1. Is that a thing?

Here you have two options, course, no course. I have like 5, so how do I code it?

If you'd like to create a 2-group dummy code for the 5 groups, you can follow the same steps in this video. However, with 5 groups, it's better to create contrast codes. I have a series of videos explaining how to do this. Here is a link to the first video in my series: ruclips.net/video/2oI2f7WzIqU/видео.html&ab_channel=BradleyPan-Weisz

Did you figure this out? How to make dummy codes with more than 2 options ?

@@bradleypan-weisz2105 on which video you are showing that? I should also make dummy code for Likert so it's 5

[@bradleypan-weisz2105]

To be clear, you should make dummy codes when you are comparing 2 groups (your independent variable or predictor), not based on how many options you have on your response scale (dependent or outcome variable).

I provided the link to the playlist for creating codes for more than 2 group (called contrast codes, not dummy codes) in an earlier comment. ruclips.net/p/PLz1uNv99Tm6rSg4JGl8Mf6jOXzvGrdpdt
