Deterministic language refers to the use of precise and unambiguous terms in statistical explanations. It avoids vague or subjective wording, ensuring that statements are clear and can be replicated by others.
Imagine you are giving directions to a friend. Using deterministic language is like providing step-by-step instructions with specific landmarks and distances, making it easy for your friend to follow. On the other hand, using vague language would leave your friend confused and unsure of where to go.
Ambiguous Language: This refers to words or phrases that have multiple interpretations or lack clarity.
Reproducibility: In statistics, this means that someone else should be able to obtain similar results when following the same procedures.
Statistical Notation: The use of symbols and mathematical expressions in statistics helps provide concise and precise representations of concepts and calculations.
