Census

A census is the procedure of systematically acquiring, recording and calculating population information about the members of a given population.

See Data reporting and Census

Data

In common usage, data is a collection of discrete or continuous values that convey information, describing the quantity, quality, fact, statistics, other basic units of meaning, or simply sequences of symbols that may be further interpreted formally.

False positives and false negatives
