Abstract

A recently published article in this journal, by Marcus Felson, questioned the use of dummy variables on coded data, in structure-seeking models. While the point he makes is a valid one, he tends to overstate the case, as he presented what is almost the worst of all possible results. This is illustrated in this note.
