A classification of units of a statistical population according to the presence or absence of an attribute is called division by dichotomy, i. e. formation of two classes. If we deal with several attributes we may reclassify the members of such a class according as to whether they possess a second attribute or not, the members of each such a sub-class according as to whether they possess a third attribute, etc. ;thus, by a series of divisions by dichotomy we can form any number of classes, i. e. produce a manifold classification. 1, record 1, English, - manifold%20classification
