Nominal (level of measure)
A character (or variable) of a statistic is of a nominal level of measurement when it takes fully qualitative values, between which there is only one relation of equivalence (of difference), and without which it is not possible to order them. The only statistical measure possible on a nominal character is the mode (calculation of the greatest frequency).
