Tilastoaiheinen

Tilastoaiheinen is a Finnish adjective meaning "related to statistics" or "statistical." It is used to describe content whose primary focus is statistics, data, or statistical analysis rather than broader scientific topics.

Etymology: formed from tilasto ("statistic") and aiheinen ("topic-related" or "relevant"). In Finnish, the compound emphasizes subject matter; it signals that statistics is the main theme rather than the field's methods.

Usage: common in education, journalism, and research to label articles, courses, programs, or discussions that center on statistical data, interpretation of results, or survey findings. Examples include tilastoaiheinen artikkeli, tilastoaiheinen kurssi, and tilastoaiheinen keskustelu. In contrast, tilastollinen more often denotes properties, methods, or the discipline of statistics itself.

Notes: The term is primarily used in Finnish; in other languages it is translated as "statistics-related" or "statistical." It is not widely used outside Finnish-language contexts, and translations should consider whether the emphasis is on topic or method when rendering it in another language.
