German term
Repräsentationsschluss
German to English
Science
Mathematics & Statistics
Inferential statistics
I would like a workable definition for the above word, as used in the following context:
"Ausgehend von einem Repräsentationsschluss, also von einem Schluss von dem Schätzwert auf den Grundgesamtheitsparameter, ist der aus einer Stichprobe ermittelte Schätzwert nur eine Schätzung des Mittelwertes µ der Grundgesamtheit, d.h. daß bei verschiedenen Stichproben die ermittelten Schätzwerte im allgemeinen variieren."
I am broadly familiar with the subject area here but would like a precise rendering of "Repräsentationsschluss" here.
Web links and "educated guesses" are welcome, but given the nature of the text, I really need someone who is experienced in this kind of translation.
I have already spent quite a while browsing through Minitab to get the basic background to the subject :=)

Discussion
says that the conclusion drawn is a stastical proposition, among which they also list "confidence interval" which usually helps determine a "confidence level." You may also want to scroll down to "Frequentist inference," which is based on sampling, and also has "confidence interval" as a subtype. Wikipedia also describes "confidence interval" (on its on page) as "In statistics, a confidence interval (CI) is a particular kind of interval estimate of a population parameter."
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confidence_interval) Anyway, I hope this helps.
