Description
Summary:This article aims to discuss some aspects in conducting inferential analysis of census data.<br />In this analysis, the assumptions of normality and IID (independently and identically distribution)<br />in the observations are no longer realistic. Hence conventional analyses which are<br />based on these assumptions are invalid and unreliable. Other alternatives can be considered,<br />such as semivariogram analysis. Semivariogram analysis assumes that observations<br />are dependent geographically. The analysis is useful in understanding spatial distribution of<br />characteristics under investigation.<br />Keywords: census, aggregation, semivariogram, autocorrelation, spatial distribution
