limit output of control categorical variable R












0














I have a categorical variable with more than 15 categories. When I use it in regression:



Reg <- lm(DV ~ IV1 + IV2 + Category, data = mydata)


It creates a dummy for each category which is perfectly what I want, but I don't want to see each dummy in my output when I use:



summary(Reg)


Is there a way to just see 'Category' as one variable in output? I have another categorical variable with 135 categories...

          You could do something like this.
          I've used the iris data to fit a linear model:



           lm_mod<-lm(Petal.Length~Sepal.Length+Species,data=iris)


          Then you can choose a specific variable as follows:



          summary(lm_mod$model$Petal.Length)


          EDIT: Do you really need to call summary?

          • I use 'stargazer' package to create a table of regression results. What happens is I get 15 rows for this categorical variable which is very annoying...
