Statistilised

Statistilised is an Estonian adjective meaning "statistical" or "relating to statistics." It is used to describe nouns connected to statistics, data, and data analysis. The form statistilised is specifically the plural nominative of the adjective; the singular nominative is statistiline. Adjectives in Estonian agree with the noun in number and case, so statistiline becomes statistilised when describing a plural noun in the nominative (for example, statistilised andmed).

Etymology and use: the word derives from statistika (statistics) and the Estonian adjective formation suffix -iline. It is commonly used in scientific, governmental, and journalistic contexts to label data, methods, models, and findings as being statistical in nature. It is distinct from qualitative terms, such as kvalitatiivne, which refer to non-numerical approaches.

Grammar and morphology: in addition to the plural nominative form statistilised, the word forms across cases and numbers in standard Estonian. For example, partitive plural would be statistilisi, genitive plural statistiliste, and so on, all following normal adjective declension patterns.

Typical usage: statistilised andmed (statistical data), statistilised tulemused (statistical results), statistilised meetodid (statistical methods), statistiline analüüs (statistical analysis). The term is neutral and widely used in academic reports, data journalism, and policy documents.
