Proxy Data

+**Proxy Data**

+Proxy data, or a [Proxy](/wiki/proxy), is indirect information used to infer properties of a variable that cannot be directly measured or observed. It serves as a substitute, allowing researchers to gather insights and make predictions about a phenomenon that might otherwise be inaccessible for [Observation](/wiki/observation).
