Unit of observation: Measurement, Types of data & Data point

In statistics, a unit of observation (or individual) is the unit described by the data that one analyzes. A study may treat groups as a unit of observation within a broader unit of analysis, for example, drawing conclusions on group characteristics from data collected over a more general level.
