Categorical Ordinal & Nominal Data

Categorical Ordinal vs. Categorical Nominal

We can divide categorical data further into two types: Ordinal and Nominal .

Categorical Ordinal data take on a ranked ordering (like a ranked interaction on a scale from Very Poor to Very Good with the dogs).

Categorical Nominal data do not have an order or ranking (like the breeds of the dog).
