Correlation matrix with dummy variable as dependent variable

[Glenda C]

Dear all,

I've used the command correlate to make a correlation matrix with my dependent variable, independent variable and control variables. However, when I execute this command an error message appears stating that factor variables are not allowed. Can somebody tell me how I can solve my problem?

Thank you in advance!

Either you used factor variable notation where it is not allowed, or some other syntax error is being mis-diagnosed (e.g. typing a stop or period where a comma is needed).

To get a better answer, please show us the exact command you typed. http://www.statalist.org/forums/help#stata

Please note also the preference for full real names, notably family names as well as given names. http://www.statalist.org/forums/help#realnames

Dear Nick,

Thank you for your feedback. I've indeed mistyped a variable.
