statistical discrepancy An item entered in tables by statisticians to show that data appear to be different when estimated by different methods, where if both methods were being applied without error the results ought to be the same. The alternative is to correct the results of one method to agree with those of the other. If the statisticians do not know which, if either, method produces a more accurate figure, it is more informative to include a statistical discrepancy to make this clear. |
