Statistikai

Statistikai is a term used in Lithuanian to refer to statistics and to people who work with statistics. Depending on grammatical context, it can denote the field itself as well as its practitioners.

Statistics is the science of collecting, organizing, analyzing, and interpreting data to understand patterns, quantify uncertainty, and inform decisions.

Core methods include descriptive statistics, sampling, hypothesis testing, estimation, regression analysis, time series, and experimental design. Modern practice also incorporates probabilistic modeling, Bayesian methods, and computer-assisted data analysis and visualization.

Applications are widespread, spanning economics and business, health and public policy, engineering, education, social sciences, quality control, sports analytics, and market research.

Education and professional work typically involve degrees in statistics or data science. Statisticians design experiments, build models, evaluate risks, interpret results for non-specialist audiences, and support evidence-based decision making.
