SchemaStatisticalVariable

SchemaStatisticalVariable represents any type of statistical metric that can be measured at a place and time. The usage pattern for SchemaStatisticalVariable is typically expressed using SchemaObservation with an explicit SchemapopulationType, which is a type, typically drawn from Schema.org. Each SchemaStatisticalVariable is marked as a SchemaConstraintNode, meaning that some properties (those listed using SchemaconstraintProperty) serve in this setting solely to define the statistical variable rather than literally describe a specific person, place or thing. For example, a SchemaStatisticalVariable Median_Height_Person_Female representing the median height of women, could be written as follows: the population type is SchemaPerson; the measuredProperty Schemaheight; the SchemastatType Schemamedian; the Schemagender SchemaFemale. It is important to note that there are many kinds of scientific quantitative observation which are not fully, perfectly or unambiguously described following this pattern, or with solely Schema.org terminology. The approach taken here is designed to allow partial, incremental or minimal description of SchemaStatisticalVariables, and the use of detailed sets of entity and property IDs from external repositories. The SchemameasurementMethod, SchemaunitCode and SchemaunitText properties can also be used to clarify the specific nature and notation of an observed measurement.
