  categorical:
    text: categorical
    description: A factor, defined by its levels and the cohorts, conditions, occasions,
      or arms carrying them. Its cells name a `level`, and a cell's `direction` is
      the sign of the contrast weight put on that level -- something the analyst specified.
  continuous:
    text: continuous
    description: Carries the slope facts, and has no levels. Its cell names no `level`,
      there being no level for a slope to be, and the cell's `direction` is the sign
      of the fitted coefficient -- something the data produced rather than something
      specified.
