A variable that may have fractional values, e.g., height, weight and time.

A variable whose value can be any of an infinite number of values, typically within a particular range. For example, if you can express age or size with a decimal number, then they are continuous vari [..]

A quantitative variable is continuous if its set of possible values is uncountable. Examples include temperature, exact height, exact age (including parts of a second). In practice, one can never meas [..]

a variable with the property that between any two values, there are an infinite number of other values. Synonym -- analog variable.

One that can assume any value whatsoever between certain limits, versus a discrete variable that can assume only specific values (usually integers). contour feathers

a haphazard variable that can adopt an endless quantity of values- wherein, a variable is gauged on a successive scale, in place of a categorical variable. Commonly referred to as a continuous random [..]

A continuous variable is a way of organizing distributions which can have any range of values in between differing values. An example of a continuous variable is weight or height - a person doesn' [..]

A variable that, in theory, can take on any value within a range. The opposite of continuous is discrete. For example, a person's height could be 5 feet 1 inch, 5 feet 1.1 inches, 5 feet 1.11 inc [..]

A numeric variable which can assume an infinite number of real values. For example, age, distance and temperature are considered continuous variables because an individual can walk 3.642531...km.

A measure score in which each individual value for the measure can fall anywhere along a continuous scale, and can be aggregated using a variety of methods such as the calculation of a mean or median (for example, mean number of minutes between presentation of chest pain to the time of administration of thrombolytics).
