Discrete data includes discrete variables that are finite, numeric, countable, and non-negative integers. In many cases, discrete data can be prefixed with “the number of”.

Key Points Discrete data is categorical data, rather than continuous measurements. It can be treated as continuous data, but that depends on the measurements set. It allows you to quantify things ...

So, why might you want to use continuous variable qubits? The main advantage is that they can naturally be stored in a quantum state that is shared by many particles. So, for instance, the phase ...

A random variable that can take only a certain specified set of individual possible values-for example, the positive integers 1, 2, 3, . . . For example, stock prices are discrete random variables ...

Up until now, QA has almost exclusively been used to solve discrete-variable functions (functions that have discrete-valued variables). The potential of QA for optimizing continuous-variable ...

Journal of Agricultural, Biological, and Environmental Statistics, Vol. 6, No. 3 (Sep., 2001), pp. 340-355 (16 pages) Measurements of both continuous and discrete outcomes are encountered in many ...

Physicists have shown that Markov processes, widely used to model complex systems, must unfold over a larger space than previously assumed. Scientists believe that time is continuous, not discrete ...

If this were the case, our notions of a continuous Universe would only be an illusion. Particles instead would jump from one discrete location to the next, perhaps in discrete chunks of time as well.
