经济体制改革和统计工作的发展,把统计科学研究推向统计事业的前沿。本文试图从总体上就统计科学研究的内容、方法、成果到发展走向进行探索,以期抛砖引玉。一、统计科学研究内容的“三分法”结构统计科学的研究,首先必须从统计科学内部规律来探索统计科学研究的范围。统计科学同任何科学研究一样可以划分为三部分,即基础研究、应用研究和实验发展。这三者构成了统计科学研究的总体内容。这就是国际上常说的“三分法”。当然目 The reform of the economic system and the development of statistical work have pushed statistical science research to the forefront of statistics. This article attempts to explore the contents, methods and achievements of the research on statistics in general and to promote the trend of development. I. The “Three-point Law” Structure of Statistical Science Research In the study of statistical science, we must first explore the scope of statistical science research from the internal laws of statistical science. Like any scientific research, statistical science can be divided into three parts: basic research, applied research and experimental development. These three constitute the overall content of statistical science research. This is the “third law” commonly said in the world. Of course
