Understanding Descriptive Analysis Types

Descriptive analysis involves transforming raw data into an interpretable form by rearranging, ordering, and manipulating data to generate descriptive information. There are four types of measurement: nominal which involves categories and frequencies, ordinal which involves rank ordering and medians, interval which involves means and ranges, and ratio which involves all interval properties plus a true zero point. Descriptive analysis is used to summarize and describe characteristics of a data set.
