Hi, i needed some help in determining if some data i have are discrete
or continuous, i know this sound silly, but if someone can provide the
answer with some relevant proof, it will be much appreciated!!! I have
a string of data that thier values ranges from 0 to 100000 or more,
and values do not occur more than once, it looked discrete in the
first place but when i use a statistic software to fit a distribution,
the result is continuous, same happened when i do it manually using
conventional distribution fitting and testing method methods
(histogram, summary statistics, chi-square test and Kolmogorov-Smirov
test). So are these data discrete? or continuous? Is there other ways
or methods i can test the data? Will anyone please help, thank you for
your time!!
