Accuracy in Statistics

Cyril Davenport Hughes

Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series C, 1954, vol. 3, issue 3, 146-149

Abstract: Statistical estimates are subject to errors which can be reduced at a cost. Mr Hughes thinks that the statistician should do his best to evaluate the errors and state them with the main results, and should determine the degree of accuracy that is economically appropriate to a given enquiry.
