Sensitivity analysis

Baglioni, Tony
All,

 

I've run some regression analyses using one dummy variable (0, 1) and
one nominal variable that I've coded 1, 0, -1.  For a number of reasons,
I did not want to create two dummy variables to represent this variable.
My question is: is it appropriate to conduct a sensitivity analysis
using the coded values to determine which variable has the greatest
impact on the DV?

 

TIA,

Tony
