So presumably categorical here means discrete, and Hopkins sections 1 and 3 simply reflect the continuous/discrete distinction. 110
tuffrings.bsky.social @tuffrings.bsky.social · 06/10/2026It seems quite odd to then put a section 2 (Binary) in between them, when that is actually a very specific part of section 3. 210
It's ME(Jaime) @exceedhergrasp1.bsky.social · 06/10/2026well that could be me. There's no telling if I got the subcategorizations right-- tho you can see I got all the questions right on the mini-quiz, which at least implies my understanding reflected the test-maker's 110
tuffrings.bsky.social @tuffrings.bsky.social · 06/10/2026At least they acknowledge that binary data is actually categorical. But they said "technically", so the admission seems reluctant. I'm not sure why. 110
