Statistickéso

Statistickéso is a term used in some online texts to denote a statistical approach or concept that blends rigorous quantitative methods with a focus on interpretability and practical application. The term appears to be a neologism formed from the Czech adjective statistické ("statistical") and the pseudo suffix -so, likely borrowed from internet slang to mark a concept as informal or shorthand rather than a formal theory. The earliest known uses are unclear, but it emerged in online forums and blogs in the early 2020s, primarily among Czech-speaking data science communities.

In usage, statistickéso is described as a label for approaches that prioritize transparent methods, replicable workflows, and accessible communication to non-specialists. Proponents argue that it helps bridge the gap between technical rigor and real-world decision making, especially in education and public-facing reports.

Critics note that the lack of a formal definition can lead to vagueness and miscommunication, and that the term may overshadow established concepts such as statistical literacy, applied statistics, or data visualization. Nevertheless, the term often serves as a mnemonic for combining sound quantitative practice with clear storytelling and practical relevance.

Statistickéso is related to broader ideas in statistics education and practice, including statistical literacy, data visualization, reproducible research, and explainable analytics.
