  2. Ordinal data - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordinal_data

    Ordinal data is a categorical, statistical data type where the variables have natural, ordered categories and the distances between the categories are not known. [ 1 ] : 2 These data exist on an ordinal scale , one of four levels of measurement described by S. S. Stevens in 1946.

  3. Level of measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_of_measurement

    Level of measurement or scale of measure is a classification that describes the nature of information within the values assigned to variables. [1] Psychologist Stanley Smith Stevens developed the best-known classification with four levels, or scales, of measurement: nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio.

  4. List of statistical tests - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_statistical_tests

    Scaling of data: One of the properties of the tests is the scale of the data, which can be interval-based, ordinal or nominal. [3] Nominal scale is also known as categorical. [6] Interval scale is also known as numerical. [6] When categorical data has only two possibilities, it is called binary or dichotomous. [1]

  5. Statistical data type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_data_type

    The concept of data type is similar to the concept of level of measurement, but more specific. For example, count data requires a different distribution (e.g. a Poisson distribution or binomial distribution) than non-negative real-valued data require, but both fall under the same level of measurement (a ratio scale).

  6. Ordinal regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordinal_regression

    Suppose one has a set of observations, represented by length-p vectors x 1 through x n, with associated responses y 1 through y n, where each y i is an ordinal variable on a scale 1, ..., K. For simplicity, and without loss of generality, we assume y is a non-decreasing vector, that is, y i ≤ {\displaystyle \leq } y i+1 .

  7. Nominal category - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nominal_category

    A variable used to associate each data point in a set of observations, or in a particular instance, to a certain qualitative category is a categorical variable. Categorical variables have two types of scales, ordinal and nominal. [1] The first type of categorical scale is dependent on natural ordering, levels that are defined by a sense of quality.

    The American housing market has been a difficult one for many over the last several years, with high interest rates and soaring prices preventing many Americans from buying a new home.

  9. Statistical classification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_classification

    This type of score function is known as a linear predictor function and has the following general form: ⁡ (,) =, where X i is the feature vector for instance i, β k is the vector of weights corresponding to category k, and score(X i, k) is the score associated with assigning instance i to category k.
