A statisticalmodel is a formalization of relationships between variables in the form of mathematical equations. A statisticalmodel describes how one or more random variables are related to one or more random variables.

Unreferenced date October 2007 In statistics , for example in statistical quality control , a statistical assembly is a collection of parts or components which makes up a statistical unit . Thus a statistical unit, which would be the prime item of concern, is made of discrete components like organs or machine parts. The reliability of the statistical unit is, in part, determined by the reliability of the components in the statistical assembly, and by their interactions. Much of the observation of a statistical assembly requires special preparation of the unit, which demands that the intervention must not prejudice the observations. A simple version of this kind of research uses the stimulus response model . In other contexts, statistical assembly refers to the process of constructing a manufactured item which must be carefully specified to contain given amounts of nonuniformity within it.

Orphan date February 2009 A statistical database is a database used for statistics statistical analysis purposes. It is an OLAP instead of OLTP system, although this term precedes that modern decision, and classical statistical databases are often closer to the relational model than the multidimensional database multidimensional model commonly used in OLAP systems today. Statistical databases often incorporate support for advanced statistical analysis techniques, such as correlations, which go beyond SQL . They also pose unique security concerns, which were the focus of much research, particularly in the late 1970s and early to mid 1980s. Security in statistical databases In a statistical database, it is often desired to allow query access only to aggregate datas, not individual records. Securing such a database is a difficult problem, since intelligent users can use a combination of aggregate queries to derive information about a single individual.

A statistical parameter is a parameter that indexes a family of probability distribution s. It can be regarded as a numerical characteristic of a Statistical population population or a Statisticalmodelmodel . ref Everitt, B.S. 2002 The Cambridge Dictionary of Statistics. CUP. ISBN 0 521 81099 X ref Among parametric family parameterized families of distributions are the normal distribution s, the Poisson distribution s, the binomial distribution s, and the exponential distribution s. The family of normal distribution s has two parameters, the mean and the variance if these are specified, the distribution is known exactly. The family of chi squared distribution s, on the other hand, has only one parameter, the number of degrees of freedom. In statistical inference , parameters are sometimes taken to be unobservable, and in this case the statistician s task is to infer what he can about the parameter based on observations of random variables distributed according to the probability distribution in question, or, more concretely stated, based on a random sample taken from the population of interest. In other situations, parameters may be fixed by the nature of the sampling procedure used or the kind of statistical procedure being carried out for example, the number of degrees of freedom ... of the population from which a sample is drawn.

A unit in a statistical analysis refers to one member of a set of entities being studied. It is the material source for the mathematical abstraction of a random variable . Common examples of a unit would be a single person, animal, plant, or manufactured item that belongs to a larger collection of such entities being studied. Units are often referred to as being either experimental units , sampling units or, more generally, Unit of observation units of observation An experimental unit is typically thought of as one member of a set of objects that are initially equivalent, with each object then subjected to one of several experimental treatments. A sampling unit is typically thought of as an object that has been sampled from a statistical population . This term is commonly used in opinion polling and survey sampling . In most statistical studies, the goal is to generalize from the observed units to a larger set consisting of all comparable units that exist but are not directly observed. For example, if we randomly sample 100 people and ask them which candidate they intend to vote for in an election, our main interest is in the voting behavior of all eligible voters, not exclusively on the 100 ... , or we may study their dynamic model dynamics over time. But it typically does not make sense ... in a study, there would be seven data values for each statistical unit. While a unit is often the lowest level at which observations are made, in some cases, a unit can be further decomposed as a statistical assembly .

A statistical population is a set of entities concerning which statistical inference s are to be drawn, often based on a random sample taken from the population. For example, if we were interested in generalizations about crows , then we would describe the set of crows that is of interest. Notice that if we choose a population like all crows , we will be limited to observing crows that exist now or will exist in the future. Probably, geography will also constitute a limitation in that our resources for studying crows are also limited. Population is also used to refer to a set of potential measurement s or values, including not only cases actually observed but those that are potentially observable . Suppose, for example, we are interested in the set of all adult crows now alive in the county of Cambridgeshire , and we want to know the mean weight of these birds. For each bird in the population of crows there is a weight, and the set of these weights is called the population of weights . Subpopulation Expand section date March 2009 A subset of a population is called a subpopulation. If different subpopulations have different properties, the properties and response of the overall population can often be better understood if it is first separated into distinct subpopulations. For instance, a particular medicine may have different effects on different subpopulations, and these effects may be obscured or dismissed if such special subpopulations are not identified and examined in isolation. Similarly, one can often estimate parameters more accurately if one separates out subpopulations distribution of heights among people is better modeled by considering men and women as separate subpopulations, for instance. Populations consisting of subpopulations can be modeled by mixture model ... http www.socialresearchmethods.net kb sampstat.htm Statistical Terms Made Simple statistics Category Statistical theory Category Statistical terminology stat stub ar da Population statistik ... more details

Expert subject Geography date August 2009 Statistical geography is the study and practice of collecting, analysing and presenting data that has a geographic or areal dimension, such as census or demographics data. It uses techniques from spatial analysis , but also encompasses geographical activities such as the defining and naming of geographical regions for statistical purposes. For example, for the purposes of statistical geography, the Australian Bureau of Statistics uses the Australian Standard Geographical Classification, a hierarchical regionalisation that divides Australia up into states and territories of Australia states and territories , then statistical divisions, statistical subdivisions, statistical local areas, and finally census collection districts.
