interval scale parameters

scale of measurement of data, according to which the differences between values can be quantified in absolute but not relative terms and for which any zero is merely arbitrary
NOTE: Interval scaled parameters are applicable in mathematical equations using the operators plus or minus. Interval scales having a zero offset are equal to ratio scales.
EXAMPLE: The temperature scale in Celsius is an interval scale, in Kelvin it's a ratio scale.
