The calculation of experimental statistics shall be based on new data sources and methods, seeking to widen the range or level of detail of statistics according to user needs. It should be noted that experimental statistical methods are not constant, approbated and internationally agreed and may be changed to improve data quality. The CSB publishes experimental statistics in order to receive user feedback, evaluate the analytical potential of the data, relevance to reality and user needs. The CSB considers that time series of experimental data can also be useful for users and the opinion of the users of the statistics is the basis for deciding on the inclusion of these statistics in the Official Statistics Programme. When publishing experimental statistics, the CSB provides data users with new sources of information for decision making.
