Qualitative dependendent/independent variables

[dexter.lanning]

So I'm estimating the equation

osai osn cust gas exm pla rpa hwq apq as uid s abw pks fls avh npp br wm ff csa pbc pbu wtbu ea a educ y hhy

Where osai and csa are both qualitative variables that cannot be converted into quantitative measures.

Error Message "Alpha series in specification - OSAI; @EXPAND can convert into categorical dummies"

Awesome, sounds great! But is it as simple as:

@expandosai osn cust gas exm pla rpa hwq apq as uid s abw pks fls avh npp br wm ff @expandcsa pbc pbu wtbu ea a educ y hhy

Because that provides a syntax error. Thoughts? Suggestions? Thank you!

You can't have a qualitative variable as the dependent variable.

Any idea how can I run a regression to see what variables influence operating system adoption? I'm a student.

Look at the help on probit and logit.
