Categorical/Qualitative Data consists of values that can be expressed in words
may be coded arbitrarily with the help of numbers, but have categorical meaning
Numerical/Quantitative Data arises from counting, measuring, or some mathematical operation
Discrete Data consists of distinct values
Continuous Data can have any value in an interval
Ordinal Data numbers depict category
have order or rank
differences between values are not meaningful
Ratio Data not categorical
numbers have rank
differences between values are meaningful
ratios are meaningful too due to the presence of meaningful zeros
Nominal Numbers depict category only
no order or rank
