'''Level of measurement''' or '''scale of measure''' is a classification that describes the nature of [[information]] within the [[Number|numbers]] assigned to [[Variable (mathematics)|variables]].

== Description ==

Psychologist Stanley Smith Stevens developed the best known classification with four levels, or scales, of measurement: nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio.

Other classifications include those by Chrisman and by Mosteller and Tukey.

This framework of distinguishing levels of measurement originated in psychology and is widely criticized by scholars in other disciplines.
