{"Image DocumentName": "Nominal Variables Ordinal Variables", "Image ImageDescription": "Nominal Variables. Generalization of binary variable where it can take more than two states. Ex. color: red, green, blue. d(i, j) = p - m / p m \u2013 number of matches. p \u2013 total number of attributes. Weights can be used: assign greater weight to the matches in variables having a larger number of states. Ordinal Variables. Resemble nominal variables except the states are ordered in meaningful sequence. Ex. medal: gold, silver, bronze. Replace xif by. rif \uf0ce {1, \u2026, Mf} The value of f for the ith object is xif, and f has Mf ordered states, representing the ranking 1, \u2026, Mf. Replace each xif by its corresponding rank.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
