Data generating process (original) (raw)
In statistics and in empirical sciences, a data generating process is a process in the real world that "generates" the data one is interested in. Usually, scholars do not know the real data generating model. However, it is assumed that those real models have observable consequences. Those consequences are the distributions of the data in the population. Those distributors or models can be represented via mathematical functions. There are many functions of data distribution. For example, normal distribution, Bernoulli distribution, Poisson distribution, etc.
