Convenience sampling

Convenience sampling (also known as grab sampling, accidental sampling, or opportunity sampling) is a type of non-probability sampling that involves the sample being drawn from that part of the population that is close to hand.

Data

Data is a set of values of qualitative or quantitative variables.

Descriptive statistics

A descriptive statistic (in the count noun sense) is a summary statistic that quantitatively describes or summarizes features of a collection of information, while descriptive statistics in the mass noun sense is the process of using and analyzing those statistics.

Human subject research

Human subject research is systematic, scientific investigation that can be either interventional (a "trial") or observational (no "test article") and involves human beings as research subjects.

Independent and identically distributed random variables

In probability theory and statistics, a sequence or other collection of random variables is independent and identically distributed (i.i.d. or iid or IID) if each random variable has the same probability distribution as the others and all are mutually independent.

Laboratory specimen

In medicine, a laboratory specimen is a biological specimen taken by sampling, that is, gathered matter of a medical patient's tissue, fluid, or other material derived from the patient used for laboratory analysis to assist differential diagnosis or staging of a disease process.

Oscar Kempthorne

Oscar Kempthorne (January 31, 1919 – November 15, 2000) was a statistician and geneticist known for his research on randomization-analysis and the design of experiments, which had wide influence on research in agriculture, genetics, and other areas of science.

Pseudoreplication

Pseudoreplication is the process of artificially inflating the number of samples or replicates.

Random variable

In probability and statistics, a random variable, random quantity, aleatory variable, or stochastic variable is a variable whose possible values are outcomes of a random phenomenon.

Statistical assembly

In statistics, for example in statistical quality control, a statistical assembly is a collection of parts or components which makes up a statistical unit.

Statistical model

A statistical model is a mathematical model that embodies a set of statistical assumptions concerning the generation of some sample data and similar data from a larger population.

Statistical population

In statistics, a population is a set of similar items or events which is of interest for some question or experiment.

Survey sampling

In statistics, survey sampling describes the process of selecting a sample of elements from a target population to conduct a survey.

Unit of analysis

The unit of analysis is the major entity that is being analyzed in a study.

Unit of measurement

A unit of measurement is a definite magnitude of a quantity, defined and adopted by convention or by law, that is used as a standard for measurement of the same kind of quantity.

Unit of observation

In statistics, a unit of observation is the unit described by the data that one analyzes.
