The independent variable in ANOVA must be categorical (either nominal or ordinal). The dependent variable must be scale (either interval or ratio). However, it is possible to recode scale variables to categorical and vice versa in order to perform ANOVA. While this is a common practice in many Social Sciences, it is controversial. I have also seen studies where ordinal data is treated as scale in ANOVA. Personally, I do not endorse either practice as they are tailoring the data to fit the test instead of the proper method of selecting a test that fits the data.

Which measure of central tendency can be applied to nominal data?
Mode.Mode.Mode.Mode.
Does variance and standard deviation assume nominal data?
No. Variance and standard deviation are dependent on, but calculated irrespective of the data. You do, of course, have to have some variation, otherwise, the variance and standard deviation will be zero.
What is nominal value?
A nominal number names something-a telephone number, a player on a team. Nominal numbers do not show quantity or rank. They are used only to identify something.Here are some examples using nominal numbers:jersey number 4zip code 02116
What are nominal values?
Nominal values are the values that a component is specified to be. For example, the nominal value of a 10K resistor is 10K. Its actual value may vary, though, based on its tolerance.
