Man, it is really worrying to me that a 20 minute video taught me a lot more than 3 hours in class with our professor...I feel like so much money is spend for nothing in the academic world

school is to weed out people who can follow instructions and good memory. KZread can sometimes teach you A LOT more than school. (I have a PhD and two masters and undergrad from top 10 university)

Can't thank you enough prof! Really simple yet elaborated explanation! :)
Best video I have encountered on this topic. Thank you!
Such an art of teaching! Grateful to your video that saves me in both Econometrics and Data Science graduate classes. The series should be introduced to much more learners! Thank you so much!
The explanation on each detail really make me understood this topic even better. Every examples and detail really give the clear picture of this topic.
I glad that I watch this video. The explanation really great, compact yet concise. As a university student its easy for me to understand the content. Thank you so much for your great work.
The explaination about the dummy variable as you have explained using more than one examples is really helpful. I manage to undertand the dummy variables rather than before.
The best video I have ever watched about the dummy variables! Thanks a world!
Nice and well explained video. Saved me a lot of time going through old text books where intuition about these concepts is often much more difficult to get. Keep up the good work dataminingcae!
Simple and concise, easy to understand! Thank you!
This video is so great! Before, I only understood this topic on the surface, after watching this, I now know how to further interpret the dummy variable better. This video also helped as reference for my assignments!
This is the greatest explaination. Thank you so much for your help and kindness. You are the best professor
This is one of the best explanation for dummy variable. Thank you so much for your help and kindness. You are the best professor

Explanation using some example are exactly the way to make me more understand 😍Now I'm getting better in understanding dummy variables. Good job 👍🏻
Thank you so much for this! You made the concepts easy to understand.
An excellent explanation of this subject covering all aspects! Thanks.
At first, it is complicated for me to understand on how to interpret when we have more than two categories, but then I manage to understand clearly based on your explaination. It is very interesting video with a great graphical example.
The concept of dummy variables was very clearly explained. As a student, it's easy for me to understand the content after I watch this video. Thank you so much for helping me.
thanks to You sir. i feel humbled you are even thanking us.
For this video, it shows and helps how to interpret coefficient with two categories
the example you give makes me more understanding about the dummy, especially on how to use it and interpret it. During this pandemic, your video is very suitable for us students to learn about the dummy variables.
From the video, now I know much better and understand how to interpret coefficients in regression analysis. The explanation is very well to understand by using graphics. Thank you sharing the input.
Thank you so much! I really needed this for my thesis!
From the video i understand how to interpret the two categories. Also the problems of variables. Thank you so much for this knowledge. 👍
tks so much! That's what i'm looking for.
Simple, crisp and made is very easy to understand. Thanks
The explanation is precise and great. It make me more understand about dummy variables. Thank you so much for this great work.
I found an easy way to interpret the coefficient when we have more than two categories. This video helps me a lot on understanding about dummy variables.
As a student this video is truely make me more understand. The explanation is very easy to understand with the example. Now I know on how to interpret more than two categories through this video.
I think i more understand about this topic thanks to your good explanations. Its very interesting and not boring at all.
The explanation with example really help me to understand more on this chapters. Thank you
Thankyou so much for your teaching sir. You just saved my life I was very frustrating because I get confused more and more I couldn't wrap my head around all those terms and complex interpretation in my study and textbooks and need to do assignment. Now I have understood better and clear. Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou.
your teaching is so clear, thanks a lot!
Its look very hard to understand at first, but then when you come out with good example I manage to be more understand on how the dependent dummy variable changing depending categories. Thank you for very simple explanations .
Best video ever seen on this topic..
From the video now I know how to make a solution and interpret dummy variables coefficients even in multiple or in multivariate linear regression . It helps me a lot in understanding the lecture given because it gave us some simple examples for us to understand
Well done 👏🏻 I will note that the final model has an adjusted R squared suggesting that 28% of variability is explained by the IVs, which is interesting in and of itself.
after watching this video, now i become more clearly about dummy variables and the way to construct and interpret their coefficient. thanks for this video and explanation. its also interesting.
I have difficulty to understand on how to interpret when we have more than 2 categories before, but with your useful explanation, i can understand it clearly now. Thank you for your explanation
Wauw! This video is absolutely great. Good job!
From this video, i can know how to interpret the coefficients in a multiple and multivariate regression because the lecturer using the simplest example to understand what actually he talking about. Thanks for this interesting video !
By watching this video, it help me to understand more about what dummy variable is. It helps me to understand how to interpet the coefficient. Thank you for you explanation
It hard to understand on how to interpret when we have more than two categories, but then I manage to understand clearly when watch this video. I am glad to watch this video. It is very interesting video as it simple explanation that make me more understand.

Your explanation was very helpful. Before this I have problem on how to interpret the coefficients but now I'm bit understand compare than before.
thank you for teaching everyone.
It all about the dummy variable and i slowly learn what is dummy variable. How to use and and interpret it in the coefficient in a multiple or multivariate linear regression. It take time for me to understand it. However, i like your video because giving a simple example to make me understand more about it. Thanks in advance. :)
Excellent explanation. Thank you so much

good explanation man! thanks.
Awesome example and explaination👍
Thank you for such a fantastic video! The concept of dummy variables was very clearly explained. This video is much better than all others out there I have seen posted on a similar topic. Thanks again!!
Thanks a lot. The video is very helpful :)
thanks you have cleared all ambiguities
Great video, thank you very much
very great video.thank u so much
Thank you for your explanation 👍, now i can understand better
this is truly helpful!!!!!! Love U
Thanks a lot. Really helpful.
i struggled understanding what is this dumb*** dummy variables are the entire semester and got 0 for interpreting the coefficient wrongly in mid term exam, thank god i found this video!!! make sense now on the comparing expected salary of treatment group to the control variable!!! thank you, you are awesome!!!!
thank you for the amazing video
Thanks for very simple explanation but How can we handle when we have around 20 Nominal and 20 ordinal categorical data . I face such problem in during Ames Housing data....? and finally if we use your method how we can perform feature selection...? because for that I have to consider whole column in your case (like qualification ) if particular levels of column are less significant then on what criteria we should select or drop that column
You're the best. Thank you...
Kudos to you dear we appreciate your efforts. thanks 👍👍👍 👍
thank you very much for this video
Thank you for the video. I think, I am more understand with dummy variables and why we used of 0 and 1 at the e-views data.
It give me input about regression. Thank you
Thank you so much.
This really help me in understand for my ECO 545 subjcet chapter. I hope this understanding will help me to answer my test tommorrow on 30 june 2020. Wish me luck guys.
can the formula (XtX)-1*(Xty) be used to calculate the b matrix while using dummy variables? if yes how or if not then how can we calculate b1,b2... without using any software while using dummy variables??
Perfecto!!!! Just one word..!!
dude you are amazing. 10 out of 10
This is so clear
so helpful omg too certi broski love for that my g
Thank you!!
Thank you
