E-Statistics as an instrument for reliable source of data

Abstract

This paper identifies the modern technique of data collection, analysis and presentation using information technology facilities and this technique is termed as E-Statistics. We highlighted advantages of E-Statistics over other techniques for data collection including the economic advantages in terms of time, resources and money. This will assist in getting 100% coverage of the targeted population and provide reliable and latest data. In addition, E-Statistics would eradicate the idea of sampling and its techniques, provided that the entire population information has been captured in the database and the data capturing centres have direct update access. However, computer scientist, computer engineers and technologists should design platforms with a centralized database which would give the National Bureau of Statistics, Statisticians and other organisations to access and update statistical information online. Based on this World data was collected online from statistical web site on internet users and two statistical techniques were used in presenting and analysing the data (descriptive and inferential). After the analysis we realized that there is significance difference between the regional mean values of the internet users in the world.
