Enum Constant Details

NOMINAL

public static final Scale NOMINAL

The 'Nominal' literal object. Supports an equality operation on one-to-one object basis. Often used in conjunction with categorized data. Supported mathematical operations: =/≠. Mathematically, it is considered an unordered set. For example, dots with the colors RED, BLUE, and PURPLE can be related to their color but nothing more can be said.

See Also:

• NOMINAL_VALUE

Generated class or method.

Ordered collection.

ORDINAL

public static final Scale ORDINAL

The 'Ordinal' literal object. Supports an equality operation as well as a monotonic increasing order. Supported mathematical operations: =/≠ ; </>. Mathematically, it is considered an ordered set.

For example, the rank of a sports team in a 18-members league is on an ordinal scale. However, the teams with the same difference in rank does not mean that the difference of their achievements or performance is/was equal.

• ORDINAL_VALUE

Generated class or method.

Ordered collection.

INTERVAL

public static final Scale INTERVAL

The 'Interval' literal object. Supports the same as the ordinal scale but the magnitude of the difference between two values is comparable. Values can be negative. Supported mathematical operations: =/≠ ; </> ; +/− . Mathematically, it is considered an affine space or line. For example, the temperature in degress Celcius is an interval measure. If you have two temperatures you can quantify the difference.

• INTERVAL_VALUE

Generated class or method.

Ordered collection.

RATIO

public static final Scale RATIO

The 'Ratio' literal object. Supports the same as an interval scale and additionally has an non-abitrary zero-point. Supported mathematical operations: =/≠ ; </> ; +/− ; ×/÷. Mathematically, it is considered a field. For example, the temperature in degress Fahrenheit is a ratio scale. It's zero point is non arbitrary as the particles which comprise matter at this temperature have zero kinetic energy.

NOMINAL_VALUE

public static final int NOMINAL_VALUE

The 'Nominal' literal value. Supports an equality operation on one-to-one object basis. Often used in conjunction with categorized data. Supported mathematical operations: =/≠. Mathematically, it is considered an unordered set. For example, dots with the colors RED, BLUE, and PURPLE can be related to their color but nothing more can be said.

ORDINAL_VALUE
