tilastollisest

Tilastollisest is not a standard Finnish word. In ordinary Finnish, the intended form is tilastollisesti, the adverb meaning “statistically.” The related adjective is tilastollinen, meaning “statistical,” formed from tilasto (statistics) with the suffix -llinen.

Usage and forms

The correct adverb tilastollisesti is used to describe actions, evaluations, or comparisons from a statistical perspective. For example, tilastollisesti merkitsevä ero means a statistically significant difference, and tilastollisesti katsottuna means from a statistical viewpoint. The standard noun-adjective relationship is tilastollinen (statistical) and its related nouns such as tilastotiede (statistics) and tilastollinen merkitsevyys (statistical significance).

Possible reasons for encountering tilastollisest

If tilastollisest appears, it is typically a nonstandard variant, a typographical error, or a truncation in headlines or data labels. Finnish writing normally preserves full forms, so tilastollisest would be considered incorrect in formal prose. In some cases, writers may omit the final -i of tilastollisesti in informal contexts, but this is not correct Finnish.
