Can you do regression with categorical data?
Categorical variables require special attention in regression analysis because, unlike dichotomous or continuous variables, they cannot by entered into the regression equation just as they are. Regardless of the coding system you choose, the overall effect of the categorical variable will remain the same.

Can logistic regression work with categorical features?
Similar to linear regression models, logistic regression models can accommodate continuous and/or categorical explanatory variables as well as interaction terms to investigate potential combined effects of the explanatory variables (see our recent blog on Key Driver Analysis for more information).
Which is the best dataset for a regression problem?
