Q10
Part b
Reference to dichotomous version of income
Which income var? Ftotinc?
And cutoff of 40K?
Yes, please compare effect estimates of education when adjusting for family income, modeled differently:
- continuous
- dichotomized
ftotinc and hhincome
both refer to household income. they may be the same but I have not confirmed that.
that is my first question.
second is what cut off do you want.
do we make it up? or do you want the 40K? or some other cutoff?
Hey Laura,
I am sorry you are confused by the wording of the question but I believe ftotinc is family income and hhincome is household income.
As for your second question, there is no cut off that I want. You can decide whatever you think is appropriate and justify it. With that said, you should try to link questions together and gain insight from what we have asked you to do in previous questions (like Q8 and what Thorpe's and al (i.e the article guiding the HW) have done...).
Cheers,
Francois
