Dummy variables are a way to include nominal variables as independent variables in a regression analysis. They allow you to convert categorical variables to binary variables (0 or 1) so that they can be included in a regression model. Dummy variables help to capture the effects of different categories on the dependent variable, which would not be possible otherwise.
