How I can I include categorical predictors in the Linear Regression procedure?

Question & Answer


Question

I wish to run a linear regression with some categorical predictors. I do not see an option for declaring a predictor to be categorical, which exists in the Logistic Regression procedure. Can I use such predictors in the Linear Regression procedure?
