ダミー法は3水準の列に2水準の因子を割り付ける方法です。

Does this mean "the level 2 factor is assigned to the level 3 column" or "a factor with 2 levels is assigned to the 3-level column" or something else? I'm getting thrown off by the placement of 水準. I usually assume it is the opposite of the English placement, which would make it level 3 and level 2, but I'm not familiar with factors and levels.

Thanks. That's exactly how I see it. I can't understand why the term "level" is used. "Label" definitely seems more appropriate.
sigmalanguage Mar 29, 2007:
From what I perceive, these levels are not levels at all. They rather look like labels to distinguish different conditions, e.g., Factor 1 = PC maker, Level 1 = Company A, Level 2 = Company B. I am puzzled, too, with this queer usage.
casey (asker) Mar 29, 2007:
Yes, actually that makes it a lot more clear what's going on. I'm still a bit puzzled about what exactly a 水準 (level) refers to, though. I have finished most of the document now well before it is due, so I can probably do a bit of research before then. Most of the document was straight forward until I got into this stuff.

Would this one be of any help?
