Will treating categorical variables as continuous variables result in a better predictive model? |
|
Answer» Yes! A CATEGORICAL variable is a variable that can be assigned to two or more CATEGORIES with no definite category ORDERING. ORDINAL variables are similar to categorical variables with proper and clear ordering defines. So, if the variable is ordinal, then treating the categorical VALUE as a continuous variable will result in better predictive models. |
