| mixed discrete-continuous random variable | <statistics> A random variable that may assume some values with probabilities and others with probability densities. For example, in a 35-year-old man with familial polyposis of the colon, the distribution of time until malignant disease occurs consists of a probability that he already has cancer (which would be assigned the waiting time 0), a probability density of developing it in the future and a probability that he will die of some other cause before he develops cancer.

| discrete | 1. Separate; distinct; disjunct. 2. Disjunctive; containing a disjunctive or discretive clause; as, "I resign my life, but not my honor," is a discrete proposition. 3. <botany> Separate; not coalescent; said of things usually coalescent. Discrete movement. See Concrete movement of the voice, under Concrete, Discrete proportion, proportion where the ratio of the means is different from that of either couplet; as, 3:6::8:16, 3 bearing the same proportion to 6 as 8 does to 16. But 3 is not to 6 as 6 to 8. It is thus opposed to continued or continual proportion; as, 3:6::12:24. Discrete quantity, that which must be divided into units, as number, and is opposed to continued quantity, as duration, or extension. Origin: L. Discretus, p. P. Of discernere. See Discreet.

| discrete character | Classifiable character that is also countable (e.g., number of progeny, number of teeth). Synonym: discrete character. (05 Mar 2000) |
| discrete random variable | A random variable that may assume a countable number of values, each with a probability strictly greater than zero. (05 Mar 2000) |
| discrete smallpox | The usual form in which the lesions are separate and distinct from each other. (05 Mar 2000) |
| discrete time model | <epidemiology> A model in which the system jumps from one state to the next at fixed intervals or timesteps. These difference models are simple to understand but often difficult to analyse; Contrast continuous time models. The parameters in such a model refer to the amount of change over the finite timestep; they are sometimes referred to as finite rates. In a (rather precise) sense, a differential equation is what you eventually get from a difference equation when you let the timestep get smaller and smaller and smaller. (05 Dec 1998) |
| discrete variable | A variable that may assume only a countable (usually finite) number of values. (05 Mar 2000) |
| automatic data processing | Data processing largely performed by automatic means. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Physicians Data Query | <oncology> A free enquiry service originating in the USA for physicians on all state of the art cancer diagnostic, preventive and treatment methods. The documents are provided by the US National Cancer Institute and includes electronic access of various forms. WWW: CancerNET Acronym: PDQ (12 Jan 1998) |
| molecular sequence data | Descriptions of specific amino acid, carbohydrate, or nucleotide sequences which have appeared in the published literature and/or are deposited in and maintained by databanks such as genbank, european molecular biology laboratory (embl), national biomedical research foundation (nbrf), or other sequence repositories. (12 Dec 1998) |
| national practitioner data bank | A databank established by the health care quality improvement act of 1986 authorizing the department of health and human services to collect and release information on the professional competence and conduct of physicians, dentists, nurses, and other health care practitioners. The data include adverse actions on physicians' malpractice, licensure, hospital privileges, concealing of pertinent information, and the like. (12 Dec 1998) |

| data | Multiple facts (usually but not necessarily empirical) used as a basis for inference, testing, models, etc. The word is plural and takes a plural verb. (05 Mar 2000) |
| data collection | Systematic gathering of data for a particular purpose from various sources, including questionnaires, interviews, observation, existing records, and electronic devices. The process is usually preliminary to statistical analysis of the data. (12 Dec 1998) |
| data display | The visual display of data in a man-machine system. An example is a cathode ray tube display in which certain data can be called for from the computer and presented on the screen. (12 Dec 1998) |
