Sawasdee krub (Hi), I am a Ph.D. candidate from Bangkok Thailand. Now, I am confusing with binary and dichotomous variable. Is it the same or different? Anyone can explain to me? If my data is coded as 1 and 2, is my data binary or dichotomous? Thanks. |

Binary and dichotomous is the same, meaning two categories for a categorical variable. Statisticians tend to say binary and psychometricians dichotomous. |
