Learning Objectives:
Identify a variety of likely measurement level transformations (e.g., the classification of ratio data yields ordinal data)
Describe the pitfalls, in terms of information loss and analytical options, of transforming attribute measurement levels
Reclassify (group) a nominal attribute domain to fewer, broader classes
Discuss the relationship of attribute measurement levels to database query operations
