Hi everyone,

my supervisor insists that I categorise a continuous variable using the median split. I have a sample of 234 observations and when performing the median split I have 10 observations that are equal to the median.

My first question is: Do I disregard the median or allocate it to the "low" or high category"?

Secondly, when performing a median split, do I have to have exactly 50% of the observations in each of the 2 categories?

I know this is a rudimentary question so my apologies for that. Any help would be highly appreciated!

Best regards,
Eliss Millen
