Thanks for your replies, I have 5 minutes to reply to some of your comments because my wife and friends are waiting for me to get home so we can go to New Orleans. 1. I agree with Joe that the term "dummy" in dummy coding is a rather dumb term to use for indicator variables. The terms is

Furthermore, if you stick to doing sensible tests, the tests are independent of the coding. For example, interaction tests are invariant to coding and so are global tests of combined main effect + interaction (e.g., H0: age is not a risk factor for either sex vs. Ha: age is a risk factor for
