https://fevir.net/sevcoversion 📍2.0Code Display Definition (core metadata concept) Synonym (core metadata concept) STATO:0000252 categorical variable A variable that can assume values from only a finite set of values. STATO:0000721 nominal variable A categorical variable for which the meanings of the categories do not have an ordered relationship. STATO:0000090 dichotomous variable A nominal variable that can assume values from 2 discrete possible values. binary nominal variable STATO:0000724 boolean variable A nominal variable that can assume values from 2 discrete possible values, True of False. Boolean variable STATO:0000087 polychotomous variable A nominal variable that can assume values from 3 or more discrete possible values. polychotomous nominal variable STATO:0000228 ordinal variable A categorical variable where the discrete possible values are ordered or correspond to an implicit ranking. STATO:0000725 dichotomous ordinal variable An ordinal variable that can assume values from 2 discrete possible values. binary ordinal variable STATO:0000726 polychotomous ordinal variable An ordinal variable that can assume values from 3 or more discrete possible values. STATO:0000732 multi-value categorical variable A categorical variable that can assume two or more values simultaneously. multilabel categorical variable STATO:0000722 quantitative variable A variable that can assume numerical values, with or without units of measure. STATO:0000723 discrete variable A quantitative variable for which only integer values are allowed. STATO:0000251 continuous variable A quantitative variable for which, within the allowable range, any value is possible. STATO:0000727 interval variable A continuous variable with ordered, equally spaced units where the difference between values is meaningful, but no true zero point exists. STATO:0000728 date variable An interval variable for which allowable values represent a point in time on a calendar with a year, with or without a month, and with or without a day. STATO:0000729 dateTime variable An interval variable for which allowable values represent a point in time on a calendar, with a year, month, and day, and on a clock, with hours, minutes, and seconds. STATO:0000730 ratio variable A continuous variable with a true zero point and ordered, equally spaced units where the difference between values is meaningful. STATO:0000731 time-to-event variable A ratio variable representing the duration of observation until the event occurred, conditioned on the event occurring.
