When I run a mutiple regression on 3 independent variables(2 dummy variables with multiple levels each and a metric variable).

In my result only few levels of a dummy variable are significant. The result of the levels for the same dummy variable are insignifcant.

How do I interpret it? Is the whole variable with multiple levels inisignificant or do the rest of the levels exhbit the base category behaviour?

Thanks

    I wonder if you may be confusing *dummy variable* (typically a synonym for 0/1-coded *indicator variable*), with *categorical variable*. Dummy variables genneraly have exactly two levels. There are alternative ways and analytic reasons to code nominal/dichotomous/binary variables than 0/1, but that's usually the simplest. – Alexis May 15 '14 at 14:29
