Die lys
van statistiese terme bestaan tans uit nagenoeg 7100 inskrywings.
Hoewel die lys voortdurend bygewerk word, het die redaksie besluit
om die lys in die huidige vorm beskikbaar te stel aan statistici, lede
van die publiek wat statistiek gebruik, vertalers of sommer enige
ander belangstellendes. Daarom het ons geoordeel dat die plasing op
die Internet vir hierdie doel die sinvolste gaan wees. Erkenning
word hiermee verleen aan die Nasionale Taaldiens, se voormalige
Departement Kuns, Kultuur, Wetenskap en Tegnologie, wat jare lank
redaksionele ondersteuning verskaf het in die persoon van Dea
Swiegers. Ook spreek ons groot waardering uit vir die waardevolle
bydrae wat John Lynch gemaak het tot met sy uittrede in 2005 weens
gesondheidsredes. Sonder hulle hulp sou ons moeilik hierdie mylpaal
kon bereik.
By die gebruik van die termlys
moet die volgende in gedagte gehou word:
·
Dit is nie net 'n Afrikaans-Engelse woordelys nie, maar bevat ook
kontekste of verbandsinne waarin terme voorkom, soms ook met kort
definisies.
· 'n Indeling binne subvakgebiede word gegee in die konteks en daar is
van 'n aangepaste kodelys van
Statistical Theory and Methods
Abstracts gebruik
gemaak.
·
Die bestaande
Statistiekwoordeboek
is met die lys geïntegreer en word onder "Bronpublikasie" as sodanig
aangedui. Die nuwe terme is bekom uit die indeks van
Encyclopedia of
Statistical Sciences (ESS)
asook uit 'n termlys wat
deur die "International Statistical Institute"
(ISI)
aan ons voorsien is en gebaseer is op die woordeboek van
Marriott
en later op die woordeboek van
Dodge.
Ons het op ISI se
versoek reeds Afrikaanse ekwivalente vir hul lys van terme voorsien as
deel van 'n meertalige lys van statistiese terme wat die ISI tans
saamstel - kyk op enigeen van die volgende twee webtuistes: |
The list
of statistical terms currently consists of approximately 7200 entries.
Although the list is continuously updated, the editors have decided to
make the list available in its current form to statisticians, members
of the public using statistics, translators or any other interested
parties. Therefore we were of the opinion that placing the list on the
Internet would be most sensible for this purpose. Recognition is
hereby given to the National Language Service, of the former
Department of Art, Culture, Science and Technology, having
provided editorial support over many years in the person of Dea
Swiegers. We also wish to express our appreciation for the valuable
contribution made by John Lynch up to his withdrawal in 2005 due to
health reasons. Without their assistance we would have experienced
difficulty in reaching this milepost.
In using
this list of terms the following should be kept in mind:
· It is not only an
English-Afrikaans glossary but also contains contexts or sentences in
which the terms occur, sometimes with brief definitions.
·
A division was made
into subfields within the subject field in the context,
and an adapted list of codes
from Statistical Theory
and Methods Abstracts
was used.
· The existing
Statistical Dictionary
was integrated with the list and is given as such under "Source
publication". The new terms were obtained from the index of the
Encyclopedia of Statistical
Sciences (ESS), as
well as from a list of terms provided to us by the International
Statistical Institute
(ISI),
based on Marriott's
dictionary and later on
Dodge’s dictionary. At
the request of the ISI we have provided them with Afrikaans
equivalents for their list of terms as part of a multilingual list of
statistical terms currently being compiled by
the
ISI. See any one of the following two websites:
