Abstract
Statistical representations are usually
the result of negotiations and conventions with
regard to what should be counted, and how it
should be counted. A wide literature has shown
that this has been the case for almost any kind of
statistical data collected in the last few
centuries, from censuses to demographic, social,
and economic surveys and time series.
