Description
The goal of exoplanet demographics is to determine the occurrence rate of planets as a function of as many of the physical parameters that may influence planet formation and evolution as possible, over as broad of a range of these parameters as possible, and to establish the existence of trends and correlations between them, or lack thereof. I will provide an overview of the state-of-the-art of exoplanet demographics across orders of magnitude in orbital separation, mass, and radius, and outline the impact of the PLATO mission in the field during the coming decade.
