  2. 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 .

  3. Bar chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bar_chart

    Bar charts have a discrete domain of categories, and are usually scaled so that all the data can fit on the chart. When there is no natural ordering of the categories being compared, bars on the chart may be arranged in any order. Bar charts arranged from highest to lowest incidence are called Pareto charts.

  4. 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.

  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). Various attempts have been ...

  6. Analytic hierarchy process – car example - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytic_hierarchy_process...

    The Jones' hierarchy could be diagrammed as shown below: AHP hierarchy for the car buying decision. The goal is green, the criteria and subcriteria are yellow, and the alternatives are pink. All the alternatives (three different models of Honda) are shown below the lowest level of each criterion.

  7. Ranking (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranking_(statistics)

    In statistics, ranking is the data transformation in which numerical or ordinal values are replaced by their rank when the data are sorted.. For example, if the numerical data 3.4, 5.1, 2.6, 7.3 are observed, the ranks of these data items would be 2, 3, 1 and 4 respectively.

  8. Sample maximum and minimum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sample_maximum_and_minimum

    The sample maximum and minimum are the least robust statistics: they are maximally sensitive to outliers.. This can either be an advantage or a drawback: if extreme values are real (not measurement errors), and of real consequence, as in applications of extreme value theory such as building dikes or financial loss, then outliers (as reflected in sample extrema) are important.

  9. Structure chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structure_Chart

    Example of a Structured Chart. [1] A structure chart (SC) in software engineering and organizational theory is a chart which shows the smallest of a system to its lowest manageable levels. [2] They are used in structured programming to arrange program modules into a tree. Each module is represented by a box, which contains the module's name.
