‘Statistics’ Journal, issue 1/2025Download

The first edition of ‘Statistics’ journal for 2025 combines publications reflecting both the historical experience of the Bulgarian statistics and the modern challenges to be faced by the European and the national statistical practice. The content of the edition is structured in three fields: development of modern statistical theory and practice, statistical research and data analysis and business intelligent systems and artificial intelligence.

In the field of statistical theory and practice is published the research ‘Development of the European legal framework in the field of statistics’ by R. Antonov, which traces the evolution of the legal framework in the field of statistics – from the first steps of the integration to the latest amendments of Regulation (EC) No 223/2009.

The ‘Statistical Research and Data Analysis’ section includes two researches. The first (‘Representative surveys during the Population and housing census of December 4, 1985’, S. Zlatanova) analyses the results from empirical studies broadening the possibilities to study the demographic and social processes. The second one (‘Guidelines for management of the statistical process in the field of environmental statistics. Approach of NSI for integrated methodological framework’, G. Cheshmedjieva) presents an institutional model for integrated management of the statistical processes in the ‘environment’ thematic area. In the ‘Business Intelligent Systems and Artificial Intelligence’ section is presented a methodology for integration of data from web into official statistics through the ‘Integrating web data into official statistics: the ‘Trusted Smart Statistics (TSS) – Web Intelligence Network (WIN)’ project (M. Angelova, K. Georgiev).  The research outlines new opportunities for usage of data from web in the production of reliable statistical information.
