continuous variables or traits: -CORRECTANSWER observations that can, at least
theoretically, take any decimal value. These are also known as metric,
morphometric, or quantitative traits.
categorical variables or traits: -CORRECTANSWER observations that are categorized
in two or more separate, non-
overlapping groups; These are also known
as discrete, discontinuous, non-metric, morphoscopic, or qualitative traits.
What are the four measurement scales? -CORRECTANSWER 1. Nominal
2. Ordinal
3. Interval
4. Ratio
Measurement scale where the levels have no inherent ranking between them -
CORRECTANSWER Nominal; ex male or female, presence or absence of metric suture
Measurement scale where the levels have an inherent ranking but the differences
between levels are not proportional or are not measured. used to describe categorical
variables -CORRECTANSWER ordinal scale, ex the order in which racers cross the
finish line (first, second, third, etc., ignoring
their exact times)
the levels appear categorical first glance but are in reality at
least partially continuous because the forces that create them in nature are also
continuous. The
levels clearly change gradually ('grade') from one to the next but for convenience are
measured
using an ordinal scale that employs discrete categories because it is difficult to precisely
measure the
actual differences between each level. -CORRECTANSWER semi-continuous ordinal
scale, ex. pubic symphysis phases (phase 1 early, 1 late, 2 early, 2 late, etc.)
