Understanding of indicators: indicators are concepts that explain the quantitative characteristics of the population and are the synthesis of their values, so they are also called comprehensive indicators. In practical statistical work and statistical theory research, the concept of describing the quantitative characteristics of the population is often directly called index.

I. Introduction of indicators

Index is a concept to explain the overall comprehensive quantitative characteristics. For example, in the industrial census, all industrial enterprises constitute the whole, including the total number of industrial enterprises, industrial employees, total wages, average wages, total fixed assets, total profits, etc. They are all indicators and reflect the overall quantitative characteristics from different aspects.

A complete index generally consists of two parts: index name and index value, which embodies the characteristics of material stipulation and quantity stipulation. According to the statistical investigation, the original value of fixed assets of an enterprise is 965.438+0 billion yuan, which is an index to describe the overall comprehensive quantitative characteristics. Including two aspects: the index name is the original value of fixed assets, and the index value is 965.438+0 billion yuan.

Second, the stock index

Stock indicators belong to the category of statistics, and all data are used to demonstrate stock trends, transactions and so on. Indicators are mainly divided into trend indicators, strength indicators and trading indicators. Originated in the futures market, initiated by george ryan. It reflects the strength of the price trend through the fluctuation range of the highest price, lowest price and closing price of the day or in recent days.

The characteristics of indicators and the relationship between indicators and quantitative signs;

1, characteristics of indicators

Indicators explain the characteristics of the whole, and signs explain the characteristics of the whole. Indicators only reflect the quantitative characteristics of the population, and all indicators can be expressed by numerical values. On the other hand, symbols include both quantity symbols and quality symbols that reflect the characteristics of overall unit quantity. Only quantity symbols are represented by numerical values, and quality symbols are represented by attributes.

The index value is obtained through a certain summary, but the quantity mark in the mark can be obtained directly without summary. Signs generally do not have the conditions such as time and place, but as a complete statistical index, we must talk about time, place and scope.

2, the number of indicators and signs.

There is a conversion relationship between indicators and quantitative indicators, that is, due to different research objectives, if the original statistical population and the original statistical indicators become a whole unit, the corresponding statistical indicators will also become quantitative indicators, and at the same time, the indicator name will become a symbol, and the indicator value will become a symbol value or a variable value.
