Interpretation of Dummy Variables in Multiple Regression with {0-1} Next to Variable Name

Hi Everyone,

Just a quick question on interpreting my dummy variables in a stepwise multiple linear regression.

I have two categorical variables with two categories in each (Lower vs Upper cluster, and Male vs Female) coded as: Male = 1, and Lower Cluster = 1.

I am confused by the { 0 - 1 } next to the categorical variable name under "parameter" in the screenshot below. Take the variable gender: does this mean a value of 1 (male) has a coeff of 0.947, or a value of 0 (female) has a coeff of 0.947?

Thanks so much for any help anyone out there has!

You appear to be using JMP. You should post your question in the JMP Communities, not the SAS Communities.
