DANSK DS/ISO 3534-2 PDF

ISO 3534-2 defines applied statistics terms, and expresses them in a conceptual framework in
accordance with normative terminology practice.
Term entries are arranged thematically within a conceptual framework. An alphabetical index is
provided. Standardized symbols and abbreviations are defined.
ISO 3534-1 and ISO 3534 -2 are intended to be compatible. They share the common goal of restricting their respective mathematical levels to the minimum levels necessary to attain correct and concise definitions. Part 1 on terms used in probability and statistics is foundational so, by necessity, is
presented at a relatively more sophisticated mathematical level. Users of Part 2 on applied statistics
may occasionally consult Part 1 for certain terms, therefore notes following selected terms in Part 1 are
provided in the form of verbal descriptions of a less technical nature. Although these informal
descriptions, given in the notes, are not a substitute for formal definitions, the intent is to serve the
needs of multiple users of these terminology standards.
