Welcome, my friends. This is my blog about different facts and statistics, sometimes funny, sometimes not. Currently you are reading my "hello world" post.
In the begin, let's to speak about symbols used in statistics. You know, symbols have very long story, even ancient Greeks used theirs. But nowadays in official and government statistical documents we can see other symbols.
| . | not available for any reference period |
| .. | not available for a specific reference period |
| ... | not applicable |
| p | preliminary |
| r | revised |
| A, B, C, D | specific levels of data quality |
| E | use with caution |
| F | too unreliable to be published |
| 0 | true zero or a value rounded to zero |
| 0s | value rounded to 0 (zero) where there is a meaningful distinction between true zero and the value that was rounded |
I hope it let you better understand future posts on this blog.
