Classification of a variable's attributes into a smaller number of discrete categories for presentation or in order to test and observe the results of the new classification. An example is the classification of educational achievement into grade 1-12 as category (1) and more then 12 years as category (2). This would allow one to more easily examine data and see if a high school degree made a significant difference. Other examples of recoding include classification of crime rates into (1) High, (2) Medium, and (3) Low.
