| Data Classification Schemes |
|
Definition
1) Encompass the full range of the data.
2) Have either overlapping values not vacant classes.
3) Be great enough in number to avoid sacrificing the accuracy of the data, but not be so numerous as to impute a greater degree of accuracy than is warranted by the nature of the collected observations.
4) Divide the data into reasonably equal groups of observations.
5) Have a logical mathematical relationship if practical. |
