What are examples of categorical and nominal?

Categorical data refers to variables that can be divided into distinct groups or categories, while nominal data is a specific type of categorical data where the categories have no inherent order. Examples of categorical data include types of cuisine (Italian, Mexican, Chinese) and car brands (Ford, Toyota, Honda). An example of nominal data is gender (male, female, non-binary) or blood type (A, B, AB, O), where the categories do not have a ranked order.
