Title: Elsevier's Dictionary of Statistical Terminology: English-Russian and Russian-English
Abstract: Statistics is one of the significant and rapidly developing areas of modern science, followed by the rapid growth of statistical terminology. The present dictionary differs from existing dictionaries in the field by focusing on a broader concept of modern statistics as a comprehensive scientific domain. Topics covered include mathematical statistics and probability theory as a methodological basis, computational statistics and statistical software as an instrumental basis, and comprehensive applied components in economics, sociology, demography, medicine, natural sciences, and technology. The volume provides an extensive collection of terms in the fields of computer terminology connected with problems of data processing and statistical software, theory of random processes, statistical quality control, operations research, and some supplementary areas such as the terminology of Russian official statistics. The dictionary contains approximately 13,500 terminological units and includes bilingual name indexes representing about 1,000 names appearing in the dictionary. As it presents the largest English-Russian and Russian-English collection of statistical terminology available to date, this dictionary should be valuable to present-day readers, translators and other experts who work with English and Russian statistical literature.
