Abstract

This is the second article in a series reviewing statistical standards published under the auspices of the International Organization for Standardization Technical Committee 69 on Applications of Statistical Methods. In this second article the emphasis is on terminology and nomenclature documents in the ISO 3534 series. In addition to reviewing these documents, a general discussion of lexicography is provided that reveals the deceptive difficulty in producing a coherent and comprehensive vocabulary for probability and statistics for use in international statistical standards.
