1 .What is statistical method?
Who are users of statistics?
Statistics for all
Statistics. Numerical facts systematically collected; science of collecting, classifying and using statistics (Oxford Dictionary).
The term "statistics" is used to denote collections of numerical data and to refer to the technique of statistical analysis.
Statistical method is a branch of mathematics, using the processes of reasoning which make up scientific method in general. Many expert statisticians are mathematicians by training.
A knowledge of statistical method is not only essential for those who present statistical arguments. According to R.G.Allen it is needed by those on the receival end. The economist, administrator or politician requires statistics to support his arguments and to illuminate the problems he handles.
The ordinary citizen may also refer to many books and articles which employ statistics. It is more than reading the text or looking at statistical tables and charts. The ordinary readers must be able to understand what statistical data mean, appreciate their limitations and criticize their use. As R.G.Allen in "Statistics for Economists" points out such readers must follow the middle course between the extremes of the cynic who thinks statistics can prove nothing and the uncritical believer in the veracity of every figure.
The ordinary user of economic and social statistics gets material ready made from an official and private publication. In most cases he gets it in the rough and adapts to his needs. Very seldom the ordinary user collects his own data at source.
It is like buying a suit in a shop or making it through a tailor, not going back to the sheep or by weaving wool yarn into cloth.
But, unlike the purchaser of the suit, the user of statistics must know how his material has been collected and processed. Not to make errors he has the right to discover how the data needed by him are being made, classified, put up into tables and presented to him, in a word, the ordinary user wants to have reliable statistical data.
