NAME

SemanticWeb::Schema::StatisticalPopulation - A StatisticalPopulation is a set of instances of a certain given type that satisfy some set of constraints

VERSION

version v23.0.0

DESCRIPTION

A StatisticalPopulation is a set of instances of a certain given type that satisfy some set of constraints. The property [[populationType]] is used to specify the type. Any property that can be used on instances of that type can appear on the statistical population. For example, a SemanticWeb::Schema::StatisticalPopulation representing all SemanticWeb::Schema::Persons with a [[homeLocation]] of East Podunk California would be described by applying the appropriate [[homeLocation]] and [[populationType]] properties to a SemanticWeb::Schema::StatisticalPopulation item that stands for that set of people. The properties [[numConstraints]] and [[constraintProperty]] are used to specify which of the populations properties are used to specify the population. Note that the sense of "population" used here is the general sense of a statistical population, and does not imply that the population consists of people. For example, a [[populationType]] of SemanticWeb::Schema::Event or SemanticWeb::Schema::NewsArticle could be used. See also SemanticWeb::Schema::Observation, where a [[populationType]] such as SemanticWeb::Schema::Person or SemanticWeb::Schema::Event can be indicated directly. In most cases it may be better to use SemanticWeb::Schema::StatisticalVariable instead of SemanticWeb::Schema::StatisticalPopulation.
