Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to describe the nature of statistical data bases and the special problems associated with them. Since statistical data bases are common in a variety of application areas, the paper begins by describing several examples that emphasize the complexity, the size and the difficulties of dealing with such data bases. A description is then given of the characteristics of statistical data bases in terms of data structures and usage. The remainder of the paper describes a large collection of problems, and when appropriate some solutions or work in progress. The problems and solutions are organized into the following areas: physical organization, optimization, logical modelling, user interface, integrating statistical analysis and data management, and security.
