Re: SPPS + multinomial regression

[Douglas Rugh (D.Rugh)]

No it is not assigned automatically.  You need to create three indicator 
(dummy) variables 2-4.  Then add them to your regression model. 
Interestingly, SPSS does automatically create the indicator variables 
within their logistic regression routines.

Hello, I'm running my first multinomial regression in SPSS, but was
wondering how to specify the dependent variable reference category. Is
there an option to do this or is it assigned automatically (e.g. for
education levels 1-4, level 1 will be assigned as reference category).
Thanks
