1. response variable : rankings for a tennis player(not taking account career breaks/injury)

2 rankings Vs player performance & player performance (age, gender, income).
Different gender might throw up surprises as in female tennis rankings, we see not much change
in one playing season where as in men's tennis it's fluctuating. Also, i would like to which age group reflects the prime of a tennis player and hence i've changed continuous variables to categorical.


Please advise

Thanks

The first question is what you are trying to find out.  What is your
dependent variable?  What are your hypotheses?

The second question is why you categorized continuous varaibles (age
and income)? This is almost always a bad idea

Hi All

I received a raw data set with one record per tennis player (both male
and
female) and then i cured it by aggregation i.e by 4 age groups, 2
gender
levels and 6 income levels. Gender and Income are categorical
variables.
Please advise me how to use 'R' to model this data set (Actually, i
want to
know the right regression technique and steps to do that, including
removing
outliers at the begining and looking for hidden interactions).

Thanks

Warm Regards
Dev
