Statistiniai

Statistiniai is a Lithuanian adjective meaning “statistical” or “relating to statistics.” It is used to describe nouns connected with statistics, quantitative analysis, and data-driven research. The form statistiniai is the masculine plural; adjectives in Lithuanian change to agree with gender and number, so corresponding forms exist for feminine and neuter nouns (for example, statistinės analizės).

In practice, statistiniai modifies nouns such as duomenys (statistiniai duomenys – statistical data), metodai (statistiniai metodai – statistical methods), modeliai (statistiniai modeliai – statistical models), or tyrimai (statistiniai tyrimai – statistical studies). The term is common in scientific, academic, and policy writing, where quantitative evidence and probabilistic reasoning are used.

Statistiniai is derived from statistika (statistics) and the suffix -inis, which indicates relation or belonging. It denotes that the described content belongs to or is produced by the field of statistics, rather than implying any qualitative judgment. As a descriptive qualifier, it helps distinguish data, methods, or results that are based on statistical principles from those grounded in other approaches, such as qualitative analysis.

Overall, statistiniai functions as a standard modifier in Lithuanian for any item tied to statistical analysis, data, or methods, and it adapts to match the noun it describes.
