Preferred term

inferential statistics

  • Inferential statistics allow researchers to make generalizations about how well results from samples match those for populations. Because samples are parts of populations, samples do not include all of the population information. [Source: Encyclopedia of Measurement and Statistics; Inferential Statistics]
