- Definition scale of measurement where the distance between any two adjacents units of measurement (or 'intervals') is the same but the zero point is arbitrary Reference "'Interval Scale' (1.12.2020), Easton, V. J. & McColl, J. H., Statistics Glossary, STEPS, 1997"
- Comment For example, the time interval between the starts of years 1981 and 1982 is the same as that between 1983 and 1984, namely 365 days. The zero point, year 1 AD, is arbitrary; time did not begin then. Other examples of interval scales include the heights of tides, and the measurement of longitude.
