I am attempting to run a single season, two species model. One of my covariates is "season" but not in the sense of needing to run a multiple season model (hopefully that makes sense). The covariate has three levels, say season 1, season 2, season 3. When I create the covariate matrix, can I just use 1,2, or 3 for the season or does it need to be a binary response? Thanks for any help you can offer. (I am new to occupancy modeling, so type slowly.)
