back to StatisticalModel's There are different ways to study a unit and different names applied in different statistical disciplines. #We may be interested in a unit because we intend to generalize from observations on a few units to a StatisticalAssembly? of units. Opinion polling and SurveySampling provide well known examples of this type of research. #We may be interested in the dynamics of a unit, how its observable characteristics change from time to time. Economic studies of business firms provide an example of this type of research. #We may be interested in the internal functioning of a unit which we can characterize as a StatisticalAssembly?. This kind of research often involves interference with the unit such as subjecting it to a treatment or even dissection, in some cases. DickBeldin |
