I've got a discrete nomial variable TEST = 0 or 1 or 2
If I estimate a multinomial model the base is 0.
Now I want to change the reference. What is the best way to do it?
How can I create a new discrete variable that follows the following
specification:
If test=1 then NEW=0
If test=2 then NEW=1
If test=3 then NEW=2
Looks like "series NEW = test - 1" would do the job. Follow this
with "discrete NEW" if you want the series "officially" marked as
being discrete.
