Hi all! I am working on a student school admission data set which has admission status of the child, the order of preference of the schools (applied to), and a bunch of SES variables for each child. I want to create a dummy variable for each school. To be clear, this is how my data looks like-
A,B,C,D,E are school names;a,b,c,d,e are student id's; P1-P5 are the school preferences.
| id |
P1 |
P2 |
P3 |
P4 |
P5 |
| a |
A |
B |
C |

A |
B |
C |
D |
E |
| d |
D |
E |
|
|
|
| e |
C |

I now want to create dummy variables for A, B,C,D,E and make my data set look like this
| id |
P1 |
P2 |
P3 |
P4 |
P5 |
A |
B |
C |
D |
