Statistical Terms Glossary

Observation of the population in a specific time period. Such an analysis captures a "snapshot" of the population in a relatively short period of time. Most of the equations that are extracted from the data are considered the time period specified rates compared to the Fujian averages.

The proportion of time spent in a day on unpaid domestic and care work by men and women. Unpaid domestic and care work refers to activities related to the provision of services for own final use by household members, or by family members living in other households. These activities are listed in ICATUS 2016 under the major divisions “3. Unpaid domestic services for household and family members” and “4. Unpaid caregiving services for household and family members”.

Is a limit on the period of time or number of iterations or transmissions in computer and computer network technology that a unit of data (e.g. a packet) can experience before it should be discarded.

The chance that an option will become more valuable before it expires.

Speed of dissemination of the data - i.e., the lapse of time between the end of a reference period (or a reference date) and dissemination of the data.

Length of time between data availability and the event or phenomenon they describe.

Loan where the lender only finances the loan a part of the time.

Time-use surveys present advantages for capturing detailed information on time spent on all types of productive activities performed in employment and/or in unpaid non-market services, within a short reference period. When all activities are recorded they can provide a solid basis for obtaining information on hours actually worked, as well as on some aspects of working time arrangements, and are best suited to provide good quality measures of absence from work hours. For individuals and the economy as a whole, time-use collection methods give fewer measurement errors for hours actually worked. This is particularly important for some self-employment jobs (often done by women) that risk being omitted from the conventional employment count due to their working hours being considered atypical, irregular, less regulated or interchangeable with activities performed close to home.The use of time-use surveys as the single source for working time statistics may be constrained by their generally non-annual or irregular frequency, small sample size and high response burden and cost of data compilation. They can be important for comparing and assessing the data quality of hours actually worked, improving questionnaires, as well as for adjusting data for certain population groups from other household surveys.

The vehicles used for moving sand and small stone weigh about ( 3 - 24 tons).

Refers to the technologies used to induce: (Injected) liver, cartilage, etc., cells to grow (within a recipient organism's body) and form replacement [integral] tissues;(Extant) cells within the body encouraged to grow and form desired tissues, via precise injection of relevant compounds (e.g. certain growth factors, growth hormones, stem cells, etc.); Laboratory grown tissue or organs to replace or support the function of defective or injured body parts (an example is skin tissue culture for grafts).

Tobin tax is the header commonly given to the proposal for levying all foreign exchange transactions. James Tobin first laid out such a proposal in the wake of the breakdown of the Bretton-Woods system of exchange rates. Recent interpretations of the proposal, while described as a "Tobin tax" have been at variance with the original idea, a point made by Tobin himself.

A toilet (WC) Toilet with Piped Water It has a door that could be closed. A toilet (WC) may be classified as follows: 1. Toilet with Piped Water: This category applies when there is a toilet connected to water resources or when there is a water tap in the toilet. 2. Toilet without Piped Water: This category applies when there is a toilet that is not connected to water resources. 3. No Toilet: This category applies when there is no separate toilet in the Housing unit.

A token is a string of characters, categorized according to the rules as a symbol (e.g. IDENTIFIER, NUMBER, COMMA, etc.).

Policy or practice that is mainly symbolic, and involves attempting to fulfil one’s obligations with regard to established targets, such as voluntary or mandated gender quotas, with limited efforts or gestures, especially towards minority groups and women, in ways that will not change men-dominated power and/or organisational arrangements.

Tolerance is the:
1. ability of an organism to endure unfavourable environmental conditions;
2. amount of a chemical in food considered safe for humans or animals

Advertisement which announces that a credit has been arranged or a bond issue made.

Intended amount of cargo train mileage The amount of cargo x claimed mileage trains and unit of measure (ton. km)

Unit of measurement of goods transport which represents the transport of one tonne by road over one kilometre.

A tonne-kilometre is offered when one tonne of carrying capacity in a merchant ship is sailed over one kilometre. Tonne-kilometres offered are equal to the cargo carrying capacity of the vessel multiplied by the port-to-port distance for all journeys. Transport in barges is included.

Unit of measure representing the movement of one tonne available in a wagon when performing services for which it is primarily intended over one kilometre.

Unit of measurement of energy consumption : 1 TOE = 0.041868 TJ.
Conversion factors adopted by the International Energy Agency (IEA) for 1991 are the following:
-- Motor gasoline 1.070
-- Gas/diesel oil 1.035
-- Liquefied petroleum gas 1.130
-- Natural gas 0.917
The conversion factor used by the IEA for electricity is: 1 TWh = 0.086 Mtoe.

Unit of measure representing the movement of one tonne of cargo in a merchant ship over one kilometre.

Unit of measure of goods transport which represents the transport of one tonne by sea over one kilometre.

Unit of measurement representing the transport of one tonne of freight (including packaging and tare weights of intermodal transport units) by a given mode of transport (road, rail, air, sea, inland waterways, pipeline, etc.) over a distance of one kilometre.

Unit of measurement representing the movement of one tonne of payload available in an aircraft when performing services for which it is primarily intended over one kilometre.
