A blood glucose test measures the amount of a sugar called glucose in a sample of your blood. Glucose is a major source of energy for most cells of the body, including brain cells. Carbohydrates are found in fruit, cereal, bread, pasta, and rice. They are quickly turned into glucose in your body.
A binary variable is the same thing as a â bit â in computer science or a âtruth valueâ in mathematical logic. They are basically different names for the same thing, much like statisticians call a Bell curve a â Normal Distribution â and physicists call it a â Gaussian distribution .â.
Integer variables are variables that must take an integer value (0, 1, 2, ...). A special kind of integer variables is binary variables. Binary variables can only take the value 0 or 1. They are integer variables with a maximum of 1 on them (and don't forget there is always an implicit minimum of 0 on each variable).
