Intrinsic and measured statistics of discrete stochastic populations

The notion that the nature of a measurement is critical to its outcome is usually associated with quantum phenomena. In this paper, we show that the observed statistical properties are also a function of the measurement technique in the case of simple classical populations. In particular, the measured and intrinsic statistics of a single population may be different, while correlation and transfer of individuals between two populations may be hidden from the observer.
