Population group
« Back to Glossary Index

A population group refers to a group of individuals united by a common factor (e.g., geographic location, ethnicity, disease, age, gender).

More specifically, in statistical analysis, it is any finite or infinite collection of people from which a sample is drawn for a study to obtain estimates for values that would be obtained if the entire population were sampled.
