Inferential statistics
Inferential statistics are generally distinguished as a branch of statistical analysis from descriptive statistics, which describe variables and the strength and nature of relationships between them, but do not allow generalization. The ability to draw inferences about a population from a sample of observations from that population depends upon the sampling technique employed. The importance of a scientific sample is that it permits statistical generalization or inference. For example, if we survey a simple random sample of university students in Britain and establish their average ( mean ) height, we will be able to infer the likely range within which the mean height of all university students in Britain is likely to fall. Other types of sample , such as quota samples, do not allow such inferences to be drawn. The accuracy with which we are able to estimate the population mean from the sample will depend on two things( assuming that the sample has been drawn correctly):
the size of the sample and the variability of heights within the population. Both these factors are reflected in the calculation of the standard error. The bigger the standard error, the less accurate the sample mean will be as an estimate of the population mean.
Strictly speaking, therefore, inferential statistics is a form of inductive inference in which the characteristics of a population are estimated from data obtained by sampling that population. In practice, however, the methods are called upon for the more ambitious purpose of prediction, explanation, and hypothesis testing.

Социальная статистика, используя социальные индикаторы и показатели, призвана выявить: структуру и динамику любых социальных процессов, происходящих в российском обществе, то есть их устойчивость и изменчивость; принадлежность к определенному времени и определенной стадии развития общества. С ее помощью находится, например, индикатор зажиточности семьи. Им может быть: наличие автомобиля, многокомнатной квартиры, загородного дома или фирменных джинсов у подростка, систематическое потребление каких-либо особых продуктов питания и т.п.
Социальная статистика основывается на данных государственной статистической отчетности и социальных обследований – квотных, стратифицированных, многоступенчатых выборок. Для разных задач используются выборки разного объема – большие и малые (до 30-100 единиц).
Социальная статистика использует как количественные, так и неколичественные данные, которые либо можно упорядочивать (измеренные на порядковой шкале), либо нельзя упорядочивать (измеренные на номинальной шкале).
