Abstract: This paper is an early version. We propose to generalise the notion of "ignoring" a random process as well as the notions of informative and ignorable random processes in a very general setup and for different types of inference (Bayesian or frequentist), and for different purposes (estimation, prediction or testing). We then confront the definitions we propose to mentions or definitions of informative and ignorable processes found in the litterature. To that purpose, we provide a very general statistical framework for survey sampling in order to define precisely the notions of design and selection, and to serve to illustrate and discuss the notions proposed.
