Adjective modifier

• canonical: This method of interpreting canonical variates is identical to the manner in which factors are interpreted in factor analysis.

• continuous: Continuous variates could take any value in an interval, tho measurement accuracy limits the number of decimal places recorded.

• discrete: Discrete numerical variates have only a fixed set of possible values - typically integer values, arising from counting things.

• numerical: Discrete numerical variates have only a fixed set of possible values - typically integer values, arising from counting things.

• respective: Therefore, you should weigh them more heavily when deriving a meaningful interpretation of the respective canonical variate.
