I have no problem on calling it as signal statistics. Yet, IMHO, the above definition is not ok. Being worked on a telecommunications service provider during a long time, the QoS term is used to any measures used to measure the quality level of a service. As such, BER measure on a PDH or SDH link is called as a QoS measure. Ok, in recent years, the mechanism that priorizes voice/video traffic on an IP network got called QoS mechanisms, as they are there to improve the QoS measures on an IP link, making them close to the QoS measures (in particular, latency) obtained on a non-IP media. Anyway, to avoid confusion, I'll just use "DVB statistics API" on the next rfc's.
