A DETAILS OF CSO

The Central Statistical Organisation (CSO) was set up in the cabinet secretariate on 2 May 1951. CSO is responsible for coordination of statistical activities in India, and evolving and maintaining statistical standards. It has a well-equipped Graphical Unit. The CSO is located in Delhi. Some portion of Industrial Statistics work pertaining to Annual Survey of industries is carried out in Calcutta.

Double exponential distribution

Double Exponential Distribution Probability Density Function The general formula for the  probability density function  of the double exponential distribution is where   is the  location parameter  and   is the  scale parameter . The case where   = 0 and   = 1 is called the  standard double exponential distribution . The equation for the standard double exponential distribution is Since the general form of probability functions can be  expressed in terms of the standard distribution , all subsequent formulas in this section are given for the standard form of the function. The following is the plot of the double exponential probability density function. Cumulative Distribution Function The formula for the  cumulative distribution function  of the double exponential distribution is The following is the plot of the double exponential cumulative distribution function. Percent Point Function The formula for the  percent point function  of the double exponential distribution

Runs Test for Detecting Non-randomness

Runs Test for Detecting Non-randomness Purpose: Detect Non-Randomness The runs test ( Bradley, 1968 ) can be used to decide if a data set is from a random process. A run is defined as a series of increasing values or a series of decreasing values. The number of increasing, or decreasing, values is the length of the run. In a random data set, the probability that the ( I +1)th value is larger or smaller than the I th value follows a binomial distribution , which forms the basis of the runs test. Typical Analysis and Test Statistics The first step in the runs test is to count the number of runs in the data sequence. There are several ways to define runs in the literature, however, in all cases the formulation must produce a dichotomous sequence of values. For example, a series of 20 coin tosses might produce the f

Basics of Sampling Techniques

Population                A   population   is a group of individuals(or)aggregate of objects under study.It is also known as universe. The population is divided by (i)finite population  (ii)infinite population, (iii) hypothetical population,  subject to a statistical study . A population includes each element from the set of observations that can be made. (i) Finite population : A population is called finite if it is possible to count its individuals. It may also be called a countable population. The number of vehicles crossing a bridge every day, (ii) Infinite population : Sometimes it is not possible to count the units contained in the population. Such a population is called infinite or uncountable. ex, The number of germs in the body of a patient of malaria is perhaps something which is uncountable   (iii) Hypothetical population : Statistical population which has no real existence but is imagined to be generated by repetitions of events of a certain typ
