Hi, I have a doubt about ordinal variables !
I understand that months (jan., feb., mar.) and level of aggression (low, medium, high) can be accepted as qualitative ordinal variables but........ my doubt is..... What about variables like seed size when using categories like small, medium and large or... level of mutation as rare and frequent ? Is these variables qualitative ? May I use these cases as examples of qualitative and ordinal variables ? I am in doubt because the size of seeds or the frequency of mutations are measurements and counts ! Thanks for any help......
