If you have a constant sweet taste in your mouth, itâs possible you have taste impairment, meaning thereâs a problem with your ability to taste. There are many reasons for taste impairment, including a nasal infection, cold, or flu.
Discrete vs. Continuous Variables. Quantitative variables can be further classified as discrete or continuous. If a variable can take on any value between its minimum value and its maximum value, it is called a continuous variable; otherwise, it is called a discrete variable.
Analysis of data obtained from discrete variables requires the use of specific statistical tests which are different from those used to assess continuous variables (such as cardiac output, blood pressure, or PaO 2) which can assume an infinite range of values.
