Categorical Lists
Categorical lists usually contain words or letters (text
elements). If they contain numerical elements, the numerical
values of those elements are ignored. Categorical lists are
usually used in statistical plotting, but they can allow you to
label elements as explained in the following example. See
Chapter 6: Statistical Plots for details about using categorical
lists in stat plots.
To define a categorical list, enclose the first element in
quotation marks (found in the Text editor). Quotation marks
are optional on the remaining text elements. A categorical list
signifier,
c
, appears next to the list name.
