tilastollisiin

Tilastollisiin is a Finnish grammatical form of the adjective tilastollinen, meaning "statistical." It is the illative plural form, used to modify a plural noun in the illative case, as in phrases like tilastollisiin menetelmiin (to statistical methods) or tilastollisiin tietoihin (into statistical data). The form signals movement or reference toward statistical methods, data, or analyses in context.

Morphology and use: Finnish adjectives agree with the noun they modify in number and case. Tilastollinen is formed from tilasto (statistic) with the adjectival suffix -llinen; for the illative plural, the ending -iin is added, producing tilastollisiin. This form commonly appears in scientific and data-analytic writing to describe approaches, analyses, data sources, or conclusions that are statistical in nature.

Common contexts: Tilastollisiin is often found in research discussions, methods sections, and literature reviews when contrasting statistical approaches with non-statistical ones or when specifying the direction toward statistical methods or data. It can modify both plural nouns in illative (into statistical methods) and gerund-like constructions in similar contexts.

Examples:

- Tilastollisiin menetelmiin perustuvat tulokset osoittavat korrelaatioita.

- Tutkimus keskittyy tilastollisiin tietoihin nojautuvaan päättelyyn.

- Käsittely on rakennettu tilastollisiin malleihin ja testauksiin perustuen.

Notes: Tilastollisiin is not a separate dictionary headword; its lemma is tilastollinen, and tilastollisiin is one inflectional form used in specific grammatical contexts.
