This Code system is used in the following value sets:
The statistical operation parameter -"statistic" codes.
This case-sensitive code system http://hl7.org/fhir/observation-statistics defines the following codes:
| Code | Display | Definition | Copy | 
| average | Average | The mean  |    | 
| maximum | Maximum | The maximum  |    | 
| minimum | Minimum | The minimum  |    | 
| count | Count | The [number] of valid measurements over the stated period that contributed to the other statistical outputs. |    | 
| total-count | Total Count | The total [number] of valid measurements over the stated period, including observations that were ignored because they did not contain valid result values. |    | 
| median | Median | The median  |    | 
| std-dev | Standard Deviation | The standard deviation  |    | 
| sum | Sum | The sum  |    | 
| variance | Variance | The variance  |    | 
| 20-percent | 20th Percentile | The 20th Percentile  |    | 
| 80-percent | 80th Percentile | The 80th Percentile  |    | 
| 4-lower | Lower Quartile | The lower Quartile  |    | 
| 4-upper | Upper Quartile | The upper Quartile  |    | 
| 4-dev | Quartile Deviation | The difference between the upper and lower Quartiles  |    | 
| 5-1 | 1st Quintile | The lowest of four values that divide the N measurements into a frequency distribution of five classes with each containing one fifth of the total population. |    | 
| 5-2 | 2nd Quintile | The second of four values that divide the N measurements into a frequency distribution of five classes with each containing one fifth of the total population. |    | 
| 5-3 | 3rd Quintile | The third of four values that divide the N measurements into a frequency distribution of five classes with each containing one fifth of the total population. |    | 
| 5-4 | 4th Quintile | The fourth of four values that divide the N measurements into a frequency distribution of five classes with each containing one fifth of the total population. |    | 
| skew | Skew | Skewness is a measure of the asymmetry of the probability distribution of a real-valued random variable about its mean. The skewness value can be positive or negative, or even undefined.  Source: Wikipedia  |    | 
| kurtosis | Kurtosis | Kurtosis  is a measure of the "tailedness" of the probability distribution of a real-valued random variable.   Source: Wikipedia  |    | 
| regression | Regression | Linear regression is an approach for modeling two-dimensional sample points with one independent variable and one dependent variable (conventionally, the x and y coordinates in a Cartesian coordinate system) and finds a linear function (a non-vertical straight line) that, as accurately as possible, predicts the dependent variable values as a function of the independent variables.

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:
| Level | A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. See Code System for further information. | 
| Source | The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere) | 
| Code | The code (used as the code in the resource instance). If the code is in italics, this indicates that the code is not selectable ('Abstract') | 
| Display | The display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application | 
| Definition | An explanation of the meaning of the concept | 
| Comments | Additional notes about how to use the code |
