Many people are tempted to collect continuous data and then convert it to discrete or attribute data. For example, you are collecting delivery time for each order.

Ordinary linear regression (OLR) assumes that response variables are continuous. Generalized Linear Models (GLMs) provide an extension to OLR since response variables can be continuous or discrete ...

Choosing the right type of chart helps you display discrete data more effectively. Discrete data consists of whole numbers that are counted rather than measured. For example, when you track items ...

This paper proposes a unifying approach to such analysis for a variety of discrete and continuous outcomes. A class of generalized estimating equations (GEEs) for the regression parameters is proposed ...
