SemanticWeb::Schema::StatisticalPopulation - A StatisticalPopulation is a set of instances of a certain given type that satisfy some set of constraints
version v11.0.0
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 [[StatisticalPopulation]] representing all [[Person]]s with a [[homeLocation]] of East Podunk California, would be described by applying the appropriate [[homeLocation]] and [[populationType]] properties to a [[StatisticalPopulation]] item that stands for that set of people. The properties [[numConstraints]] and [[constrainingProperties]] 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 [[Event]] or [[NewsArticle]] could be used. See also [[Observation]], and the [data and datasets](/docs/data-and-datasets.html) overview for more details.
constraining_property
constrainingProperty
Indicates a property used as a constraint to define a [[StatisticalPopulation]] with respect to the set of entities corresponding to an indicated type (via [[populationType]]).
A constraining_property should be one of the following types:
InstanceOf['SemanticWeb::Schema::Integer']
_has_constraining_property
A predicate for the "constraining_property" attribute.
num_constraints
numConstraints
Indicates the number of constraints (not counting [[populationType]]) defined for a particular [[StatisticalPopulation]]. This helps applications understand if they have access to a sufficiently complete description of a [[StatisticalPopulation]].
A num_constraints should be one of the following types:
_has_num_constraints
A predicate for the "num_constraints" attribute.
population_type
populationType
Indicates the populationType common to all members of a [[StatisticalPopulation]].
A population_type should be one of the following types:
InstanceOf['SemanticWeb::Schema::Class']
_has_population_type
A predicate for the "population_type" attribute.
