问题 I have fitted a model where: Y ~ A + A^2 + B + mixed.effect(C) Y is continuous A is continuous B actually refers to a DAY and currently looks like this: Levels: 1 < 2 < 3 < 4 < 5 < 6 < 7 < 8 < 9 < 11 < 12 I can easily change the data type, but I'm not sure whether it is more appropriate to treat B as numeric, a factor, or as an ordered factor.
