I want to do linear regression with the lm
function. My dependent variable is a factor called AccountStatus
:
1:0 days in arrears, 2:30-60 days in arrears, 3:60-90 days in arrears and 4:90+ days in arrears. (4)
As independent variable I have several numeric variables: Loan to value
, debt to income
and interest rate
.
Is it possible to do a linear regression with these variables? I looked on the internet and found something about dummy's, but those were all for the independent variable.
This did not work:
fit <- lm(factor(AccountStatus) ~ OriginalLoanToValue, data=mydata)
summary(fit)
