Change the default -1 1 coding of categorical variable to 0 1 coding

Dear JMP community, 

 

I found that when fitting a multiple linear regression (y ~ X1 + X2, X1 is a continuous and X2 is a categorical variable), by default JMP defines the dummy variable X2 as -1 1. Is there a way to change it to 0 1, which will be the same as the default dummy variable coding as R? Thanks!

Hi @statman : Indeed, I don't disagree with what Mark wrote wrt continuous variables. But, that is not relevant for categorical factors.
