Sean J Taylor @seanjtaylor.com · 03/11/2023Naming things is hard when you're building an analytics product! Here's one: - column - dimension - variable - attribute - covariate - series - feature are all used to refer the same thing. There are differences in definitions but even picking the "correct" one can just confuse people. 2162
