The level of measurement is used to classify the data and tells us how the data should be summarized and presented.
There are four levels of measurement: nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio.
Nominal - observations of a qualitative variable are measured andrecorded as labels or names. The labels or names can only be classified and counted. There is noparticular order to the labels.
Ordinal - For this level of measurement aqualitative variable or attribute is either ranked or rated on a relative scale.
Interval - For data recorded at the interval level ofmeasurement, the interval or the distance between values is meaningful. The intervallevel of measurement is based on a scale with a known unit of measurement.
Ratio - It has all the characteristics of the interval level, but, inaddition, the 0 point and the ratio between two numbers are both meaningful.
