Classification of variable

Numeric quantitative var – continuous, interval, variable, discrete

Categorical qualitative variable ordinal data is a kind of categorical data with a set
order or scale to it.- , nominal (categorical variable (sometimes called a nominal variable)
is one that has two or more categories), dichotomous (dichotomous variable is one that takes
on one of only two possible values when observed or measured), polychotomous (a variable
having more than two possible categories, either ordered or unordered.)

Experimental- is a procedure carried out to support or refute a hypothesis.

Experiments provide insight into cause-and-effect by demonstrating what outcome
occurs when a particular factor is manipulated.

Independent- is the characteristic of a psychology experiment that is manipulated

or changed by researchers, not by other variables in the experiment.s

Dependent- The dependent variable is the variable that is being measured or tested

in an experiment

Extraneous- Extraneous variables are all variables, which are not the independent
variable, but could affect the results of the experiment. ... Hence, all the other
variables that could affect the dependent variable to change must be controlled.
These other variables are called extraneous or confounding variables.

Non-experimental- Non-experimental research is the type of research that does not

involve the manipulation of control or independent variable. In non-experimental research,
researchers measure variables as they naturally occur without any further manipulation. ... the
research pertains to a non-causal relationship between variables

Predictor- Predictor variable is the name given to an independent variable used in

regression analyses. The predictor variable provides information on an associated
dependent variable regarding a particular outcome.

Criterion- Criterion variable is a name used to describe the dependent variable in a variety of
statistical modeling contexts, including multiple regression, discriminant analysis, and canonical
correlation

Variable according to the number- a variable is a symbol which works as a placeholder
for expression or quantities that may vary or change; is often used to represent the argument of
a function or an arbitrary element of a set. In addition to numbers, variables are commonly used
to represent vectors, matrices and functions
univariate study- Univariate analysis is the simplest form of data analysis where the data
being analyzed contains only one variable. Since it's a single variable it doesn't deal with causes
or relationships. The main purpose of univariate analysis is to describe the data and find
patterns that exist within it.

Bivariate- In statistics, bivariate data is data on each of two variables, where each value
of one of the variables is paired with a value of the other variable. Typically, it would be
of interest to investigate the possible association between the two variables.
