UnivarStatMeasureMethodClassEnum

Broad classification of the univariate statistical methods, used in "UnivariateStatisticalMeasureEnum": //xs:enumeration/xs:annotation/xs:appinfo/Specification/MethodClass. A separate xslt script (UBIF_Enumerations.xsl, see the UBIF-EnumerationTools.zip file distributed together with the UBIF schema package) is provided that converts this from schema data to xml instance data. MethodClasses inform about very general quality properties of measures. This is an optional feature. Whereas UnivariateStatisticalMeasureEnum must be implemented, these additional specifications are an offer to simplify implementations and increase compatibility with future UBIF version. Implementors may choose different methods of handling the statistical measures, however. Compare also UnivarStatMeasureReportingClassEnum.
