Chris SeiderParticipant@cseiderInclude @cseider in your post and this person will
be notified via email.Both are considered to be categorical….
Discreet is usually numerical but not continuous and attribute is usually word based.
Discreet example….. 1, 2, and 3 to describe # of rolls of material or shift
Attribute example….color of diamonds or pass/fail or supplier BP or LYO0June 12, 2007 at 8:55 pm #157347C. Seider
WRONG
Discrete Data and Attribute Data are the same i.e. .005″
Continuous Data and Variable Data are the same i.e. Go/No Go

We disagree it seems….
1st, how can you possibly refer to go/no go as continuous?
2nd, we both agree that discrete and attribute can be considered categories so I will not argue semantics but the language I’ve always used is attribute is generally letter based and discrete is number based… so long as we agree the importance is solving the business issue.0June 12, 2007 at 9:17 pm #157350

C Seider Apologies.
But, I do agree with the terminology, just not the examples.
Discrete data is most usually associated with a count of observations and is usually referred to attribute. Attribute data term is normally used when associated with specifications. i.e. go/ no go gage
Continuous data usually associated with measurements on some interval scale, and is usually referred to as variable data.
Since the someone likes CT so well I will use the whole name

Oh, I’ve learned not to take offense in these posts…I’m a calmer guy on average and if I get too p*&&#@ then I’ll stop posting or write something sarcastic back.
Nice to know who CT is….usually, LOL…

accringtonParticipant@accringtonInclude @accrington in your post and this person will
be notified via email.HBGB B^2.’s reply is the only one you should follow. Your question is extremely basic, and is best answered by you swotting up and learning yourself, or asking someone who is competent in statistics ( I am loath to use the word statistician for fear of the opprobrium this would invite from other visitors to this forum)
Some of the other replies to your question are totally wrong (note I did not say dumb or stupid)0June 13, 2007 at 8:56 pm #157398There is no difference.
