More advanced Variable Type inferencing #41

Open mvnural opened 9 years ago

mvnural commented 9 years ago

Cases to consider:

When unique values < 10 but contain numbers (no string categories)
- Double values.
- Integer values. (Does it matter if they are consecutive or not? eg. 1,2,3,4,5 vs. 1, 43, 34,1110 ?)
When it is inferred as categorical, is there a way to know if it is ordinal or not?
- May check the header against WolframAlpha API and infer as ordinal if it is a mathematical "unit"

Any other ideas?
