Figure 4.
Examples of continuous and discrete attribute states. The leftcolumn shows the continuous data that range from 1.1 to 2.0. Themiddle column shows continuous data that are in essence discrete where there are well defined gaps between values. This might be attributable to rounding or to natural breaks in the continuous data. The right column shows an example of discrete data — the case of DNA sequences. The lines in the figure indicate dividing points in the two discrete data columns.
