Base Statistics:

Attributes:
Attributes are those listed at the bottom of the Unit Card. For example, an SCV may be "Light", "Biological" and "Mechanical".
Attributes change the way damage effects work and if certain abilities will work.

Examples of damage effects that change:
Stalkers inflict 10 (+1) points of damage to a unit. A stalker will inflict an extra 4 points of damage to a unit with the "Armored" attribute.

Examples of abilities that have different effects/no effect at all:
Snipe inflicts 45 points of damage to a unit, but it can only be cast on a unit with the "Biological" attribute.

Health:
Health is a measure of how many attacks or damage abilities can affect the target before killing it. Health is separated into two groups:

Current Health, which is a variable and can be reduced through damaging effects such as attacks, or restored through effects such as Zerg regeneration or the Heal ability.

Maximum Health, which is the maximum value to which Current Health can reach. By default, the Current Health of a created unit is equal to its Maximum Health.

Shields:

Protoss only

Shields function in almost exactly the same way as Health does, with a minimum and maximum separated from health. Units will only take Health damage when their Shields reach 0 (Extra damage is carried into health damage).

The only ability that only affects Shields (and not Health) is the Ghost's EMP ability, which drains Shields and Energy (where applicable) from targets in the area of effect.

Attacks:

Attacks are a function of a unit that allow units to inflict damage. A attack's primary effect is that it inflicts damage to the target. Attacks are often limited to a set of targets, and some units have two different attacks for two different targets. Thors, Queens and Reapers all fit into this category.

Attack Damage:

The amount of damage caused by a single shot from an attack. Self-explained.

Damage bonuses, as explained under "Attributes", are applied here.

Attack "Number of Attacks":

The number of shots that are fired with each attack. Damage will be caused to the target once for every shot fired during an attack. For example, the Queen's "Talons" attack hits the target twice, causing 4 (+1) points of damage per each shot. Armour effects each shot separately.

Attack Rate:

The minimum time in in-game seconds between two attacks. After an attack, the unit will wait until this time expires before attempting another attack. This countdown starts when the animation for an attack begins, and as such, the time between attacks will be the same value.

Attack Range:

The maximum distance at which a unit can attempt to attack. If the target of the attack moves out of range once the attack animation begins, it will still complete.

Movement Speed:

The number of "units" or "hexes" that a unit will traverse every in-game second when moving at full speed.

The length of a "Hex" is the same as the length of a Sensor Tower (one building square).

Acceleration:

The rate at which a unit accelerates, measured in Movement Speed per in-game second. It is the rate at which the units speed increases when applicable. A unit will never decelerate until it reaches it's final target.

Energy:

The amount of Energy a unit has. Energy is a regenerating value that allows you to use a variety of abilities. Energy is functionally the same as health, with a Current and Maximum value, though it does not suffer damage in the same way that Health and Shields do. The Maximum Energy is usually 200 for most units, and starting Energy is usually 50. Exceptions to this rule exist though.

Energy Regeneration:

The amount of Energy regenerated automatically on a unit every second. By default, this value is 0.5625. Exceptions to this default value exist though.

Armour:

This value reduces the effect of an attack's damage to health. The amount of damage normally inflicted by an attack is reduced by 1 for every point of Armour. This minimum damage any attack can inflict is 0.5. An fully-upgraded Ultralisk with 6 armour will suffer 0.5 damage from a Zergling's "Claws" attack that does 5 damage.

Shield Armour:

Protoss only

Shield Armour is the same as normal armour, except it only applies to attacks that would affect Shields. For Protoss units, normal Armour does not affect Shields.

If an attack will inflict damage to both Health and Shields, then both Armour and Shield Armour will reduce the attack damage.

Derived Statistics:

Damage per Second:

Damage per second (DPS) is a measure of how much damage output an attack is capable of when attacking as often as possible.

The formula for Damage per Second is:

DPS = (D * A) / R

Where:
D = Attack Damage
A = Number of Attacks
R = Attack Rate

Damage per second is, as the name suggests, the average amount of damage an attack can inflict every in-game second when firing constantly.

Examples:

Marine's "Gauss Rifle" attack:

D = 6
A = 1
R ≈ 0.86

(6 * 1) / 0.86 ≈ 6.98 DPS

Colossus' "Thermal Lance" attack:

D = 15
A = 2
R = 1.65

(15 * 2) / 1.65 ≈ 18.18 DPS

Armour Effectiveness:

This is a measure of how effective one point of Armour (or Shield Armour) is at reducing the DPS of a particular attack. This value is placed on the attack, rather than the defending unit, as armour is an easy variable to deal with, while DPS is not.

The formula for Armour Effectiveness is:

AE = A / R

Where:
A = Attacks per Second
R = Attack Rate

Basically, for every point of Armour the attacked unit has, the DPS is reduced by this amount.

Examples:

The Phoenixes "Ion Cannons" attack has 2 shots and an attack rate of 1.1

2 / 1.1 ≈ 1.82

If an attacked unit has 2 armour, the DPS of the Phoenix if it is constantly attacking is reduced by

2 * 1.8181... ≈ 3.64

DPS:Cost

This is a measure of how much DPS you get per 100 minerals. For the purposes of this system, Gas = 2*Minerals.

Formula is:

DPS/Cost = DPS / (Cost / 100)

Essentially, it shows how much DPS you get for your money. Units designed for a DPS or harrassment role may have a high DPS:Cost ratio.

Health:Cost

This is a measure of how much Health you get per 100 minerals. It is essentially the same as DPS:Cost.

Formula is:

(Health + Shields) / (Cost / 100)

It works the same way. It shows how much tankiness you get for your money. Units designed for a tanking role will generally have a high Health:Cost ratio.

DPS:Supply

The ratio of DPS of an attack to the supply cost of a unit.

Formula is:

DPS / Supply

This shows how much of your supply is going into DPS. It is most relevant in a context of 200 supply armies.

Health:Supply

The ratio of Health to the supply cost of a unit.

Formula is:

(Health + Shields) / Supply

This shows how much of your supply is going into Health and is useful for indicating how long a 200 supply army can survive against enemy forces.

But what I would REALLY like is one for each of the functions in the trigger editor and each of the items in the data editor for the SC2 galaxy editor. gogogo!

I still barely know how to change things in the Data Editor. I still use the WC3 Editor for any projects I have regarding this sort of thing.
