What is discrete, categorical, ordinal, numerical, non-numerical and continuous data?

Answer 1

discrete : separate and distinct, as in: The company is composed of three discrete units.

categorical : Data or variables that differ in kind; they do not vary by amounts or degree. Gender (male, female) is an example of a categorical variable; values of 1=male, 2=female are examples of categorical data. Also known as qualitative or nominal data/variables

Ordinal : The scale of measurement in which data are arranged in rank order.

Numerical : variables that have numbers associated with them, such as height, weight, or annual income. Arithmetic operations can be performed on the values of these variables.

Non-numerical : alpha numeric data

Continuous : Opposed to discrete.
