Decision Sciences - Post 1

#ShortPost - will cover it all over a period of time With the increasing importance of data in making decisions, let us look at some of the data related terms used in statistics which can help you make data driven decisions. Types of variables: Two important types of variables which should not leave you stunned are: Categorical (or nominal) variables Ordinal variables Categorical:  A categorical variable (sometimes called a nominal variable) is one that has two or more categories, but there is no intrinsic ordering to the categories. Ordinal: An ordinal variable is similar to a categorical variable.  The difference between the two is that there is a clear ordering of the variables.  Interval: An interval variable is similar to an ordinal variable, except that the intervals between the values of the interval variable are equally spaced.  Check the following link for more details: http://stats.idre.ucla.edu/other/mult-pkg/w...

In his blog he has clearly explained how some people approach him and ask about how he manages to get topics to blog about each day. He has explained how his situation is quite the opposite as for him, he has too much to write about. Not boring you anymore with my reporting. "He said, He hopes, He explained" Ok no more. So one of the topics I got from that list was: "How Flickr Did It Right" There were  a variety of topics to choose from but I chose this because I wanted to do some research before writing. Let me be honest here. At this moment when I start writing I have no clue what it is. Yes I do know its part of the popular new generation networking band wagon and that it has something to do with sharing. Maybe pics or reports or articles. I donno. In fact, I dou...
