However, variation in most acoustic characters is quantitative rather than categorical.
Assume further that the primary outcome of interest is continuous rather than categorical.

Ordinary least squares (OLS) regression is used in all the multi-variate regressions because all five dependent variables are continuous rather than categorical or count variables.
The problem of risk factor definition: In the choice of risk factors, it is preferable to include continuous variable scales rather than categorical binary ones because, in this way, the values will not be submitted to personal subjectivity.
Scoring reproducibility was determined for each antibody using the intra-class correlation coefficient; the process of calculating the mean score for each patient led to 61 possible outcomes, and therefore the data were treated as continuous rather than categorical.
This coefficient is either −½, 0, ½ or 1, as calculated in the 7th to 10th column of Tables 2– 4. If the environmental measure is continuous in nature, rather than categorical, the model as presented in Eq. 1, is altered as follows.
