I've dummy coded a variable in my research. In my 'measures' section I say
"type of chocolate was measured using 4 categories, which for the purposes of analysis were dummy coded, using 'galaxy' as a reference category".
My supervisor has written "need to explain what this means" next to this sentence.
Now I think that my examiners either should know what this means, or should go and read a book to find out!
Am I being unreasonable, or should I try and explain what this means (My sup is rubbish at stats, so not sure on this one!)
