Remarks

Use a CategoricalVariable to represent observations that can take on a discrete set of values.

Every CategoricalVariable has a CategoricalScale object associated with it, that represents the possible values of the variable.

If the scale is IsOrdered, a larger number of descriptive statistics are available, including the Median, the Minimum and the Maximum. For unordered data, only the Mode is available.
