The previous review in this series introduced the notion of data description and outlined some of the more common summary measures used to describe a dataset. However, a dataset is typically only of interest for the information it provides regarding the population from which it was drawn. The present review focuses on estimation of population values from a sample.
本系列的上一篇综述介绍了数据描述的概念,并概述了一些用于描述数据集的更常见的汇总指标。然而,数据集通常仅因其提供的有关所抽取总体的信息而受到关注。本综述重点关注从样本估计总体值。
