In engineering , science , and statistics , replication is the repetition of an experiment al condition so that the variability associated with the phenomenon can be estimated. ASTM , in International standard standard E1847, defines replication as the repetition of the set of all the treatment combinations to be compared in an experiment. Each of the repetitions is called a replicate . Replication is not the same as repeated measurement s of the same item they are dealt with differently in statistical experimental design and data analysis . For proper Sampling statistics sampling , a process or batch of products should be in reasonable statistical control inherent random variation is present but variation due to assignable special causes is not. Evaluation or testing of a single item does not allow for item to item variation and may not represent the batch or process. Replication is needed to account for this variation among items and treatments. Example As an example, consider a continuous process which produces items. Batches of items are then processed or treated. Finally, tests or measurements are conducted. Several options might be available to obtain ten test values. Some possibilities are One finished and treated item might be measured repeatedly to obtain ten test results. Only one item was measured so there is no replication.

In statistics , engineering , and medical research, censoring occurs when the value of a measurement or observation is only partially known. For example, suppose a study is conducted to measure the impact of a drug on mortality. In such a study, it may be known that an individual s age at death is at least 75 years. Such a situation could occur if the individual withdrew from the study at age 75, or if the individual is currently alive at the age of 75. Censoring also occurs when a value occurs outside the range of a measuring instrument . For example, a bathroom scale might only measure up to 300 lbs. If a 350 lb individual is weighed using the scale, the observer would only know that the individual s weight is at least 300 lbs. Types of censoring Left censoring &ndash a data point is below a certain value but it is unknown by how much Interval censoring &ndash a data point is somewhere on an interval between two values Right censoring &ndash a data point is above a certain ...

Unreferenced date July 2007 Economic statistics is a branch of applied statistics focusing on the collection, processing, compilation and dissemination of statistics concerning the economy of a region, a country or a group of countries. Economic statistics is also referred as a subtopic of official statistics, since most of the economic statistics are produced by official organizations e.g. statistical institutes, intergovernmental organizations such as United Nations , European Union or OECD , central bank s, ministries, etc. . Economic statistics provide the empirical data needed in economic research econometrics and they are the basis for decision and economic policy making.

Refimprove date September 2009 Business statistics is the science of good decision making in the face of uncertainty and is used in many disciplines such as financial analysis , econometrics , auditing , production and operations including services improvement, and marketing research. These sources feature regular repetitive publication of series of data. This makes the topic of time series especially important for business statistics. It is also a branch of applied statistics working mostly on data collected as a by product of doing business or by government agencies. It provides knowledge and skills to interpret and use statistical techniques in a variety of business applications. A typical business statistics course is intended for business majors, and covers statistical study, descriptive statistics collection, description, analysis, and summary of data , probability, and the binomial and normal distribution s, test of hypotheses and confidence intervals, linear regression , and correlation.
