This package enables to select whether a dummy variable for base group is included (for principal component analysis/factor analysis) or excluded (for regression analysis) by an option. 'makedummies' function accepts 'data.frame', 'matrix', and 'tbl' (tibble) class (by 'tibble' package). 'matrix' class data is automatically converted to 'data.frame' class.
