I am new to this field and I am currently studying the most basic problem of statistics, I think. I have an indicator that is 0 or 1 and many categorical and continuous variables. I have to create a predictive model for the indicator. Could anyone provide me a direction in terms of packages that already tackled this kind of problem. Thanks, Marco
It sounds like you want multiple logistic regression: I think most people find the mlogit package quite helpful there.
