Class Covariates

Use this field to specify classification variables to use as additional regressors in the model.

For each level of these variables, numeric indicator variables of 0s and 1s indicating class membership are constructed when necessary.

Note: The specified covariates are not used in the predictor reduction processes but are included as covariates in the model.
