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