Dear team,
I am using the Births Recode dataset and would like to determine the following:

How can I identify which variables are categorical and which are numerical (e.g., values representing continuous data) among the more than 1,000 variables in the dataset? While I understand the fundamentals of interpreting data, I'm looking for specific indicators--such as variable naming conventions or data arrangement--that could help distinguish between categorical and numerical variables more efficiently. Thank you so much.
