Abstract
Large numbers of data permit a statistical approach to topics in observational cosmology. The derivations of cosmological and structural parameters from deeper and wider samples promise more general solutions, but pose new problems of analysis. Examples are given for the statistical derivation of the quantities Ho, q o , Ωo and A, of structural properties of clusters of galaxies, and of the evolution of clustering.
