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!
