Social statistics is the use of statistical measurement
systems to study human behavior in a social
environment. This can be accomplished through polling a particular group of people,
evaluating a particular subset of data obtained about a group of people, or by observation and statistical analysis of a set of
data that relates to people and their behaviors.
Often, social scientists are employed in the evaluation of
the quality of services of a particular group or organization, in analyzing behaviors
of groups of people in their environment and special situations, or even in determing the wants or needs of people through
statistical sampling.
