I've acquired a database which I'm dicking around with, trying to learn as much as I can about modelling some stuff.
Finding linear correlations isn't that hard, just click some buttons in SPSS and there you go - but I'm still not sure how to model binary dependant variables - such as finding out the likelihood of a team WINNING instead of calculating what the average point difference will be.
I tried formating it as a dummy variable (0 for no, 1 for yes) but that spat out pretty damn weird numbers. I'm guessing there's a better tool than standard linear regressions here?
Appreciate the help
