1. The difference between continuous and discrete data sets is as follows,
1) The set of data is said to be continuous if the values belonging to the set can take any values within a finite or infinite interval. And the set of data said to be discrete if the values belonging to the set are distinct and separate.
2) The continuous data is measurable. Continuous data can take on any value as it’s measured. And discrete data is countable. It is typically things counted in whole numbers.
3) Continuous Dataset example: i)Your weight. Your weight can be any weight within the range of human weights. Your weight is not a specific fixed number. ii)Time in a race. A race can be timed to a millisecond.
4)Discrete dataset example: i)Kids per class. How many students there are in each classroom in your school.ii) Apples on a tree. The number of apples on each tree in an orchard. Discrete data can also be categorical, such as green or blue, male or female etc.

Correlation bound
Let x and y be two random variables such that:
Corr(x,y) = b, where Corr(x,y) represents correlation between x and y, b is a scalar number in range of [-1, 1]. Let y' be an estimation of y. An example could be y'=y+(rand(0,1)-0.5)*.1, rand(0,1) gives random number between 0, 1. I am adding some noise to the data.
My questions are:
Is there a way where I can bound the correlation between x, y' i.e. Corr(x,y')?I mentioned y' in light of random perturbation, I would like to know what if I don't have that information, where I only know that y' is a estimation of y. Are there any literature that cover it?What is the benefit of OU vs regression for modeling data, say data in the form of () pairs?
