VariableCollection¶
Fully qualified class name: DDICDIModels::DDICDILibrary::Classes::Conceptual::VariableCollection
Definition¶
Group of any type of variable within the variable cascade (conceptual, represented, instance).
Examples¶
Variables within a specific section of a study
Variables related to a specific subject or keyword
Variables at a specified level of development or review
Explanatory notes¶
A simple ordered or unordered list of variables can be described via a set of variable position parameters. An optional variable structure can describe a more complex structure for the collection. We might, for example, use the variable structure to group variables by content within a single collection of data or a wave of on-going data collection. For the purposes of management, conceptualization or anything other than organizing a logical record or physical layout.

Variables within a specific section of a study\n2. Variables related to a specific subject or keyword\n3. Variables at a specified level of development or review\n\nExplanatory notes\n================= \nA simple ordered or unordered list of variables can be described via a set of variable position parameters. An optional variable structure can describe a more complex structure for the collection. We might, for example, use the variable structure to group variables by content within a single collection of data or a wave of on-going data collection. For the purposes of management, conceptualization or anything other than organizing a logical record or physical layout."@en;
