Analytic and enumerative statistical studies

Analytic and enumerative statistical studies are two types of scientific studies: In any statistical study the ultimate aim is to provide a rational basis for action. Enumerative and analytic studies differ by where the action is taken. Deming summarized the distinction between enumerative and analytic studies as follows: (In a statistical study, the frame is the set from which the Sample (statistics) is taken.) These terms were introduced in Some Theory of Sampling (1950, Chapter 7) by W. Edwards Deming. "Use of data requires knowledge about the different sources of uncertainty.
