finite sample distribution

[ˈfɪnɪt ˈsæmpəl ˌdɪstrɪˈbjuːʃən]
nounpl: finite sample distributions
distribuição amostral finita
1. The probability distribution of a statistic calculated from a sample of finite size, as opposed to the asymptotic distribution that would apply as sample size approaches infinity
The finite sample distribution of the test statistic differs from the normal distribution predicted by asymptotic theory when sample sizes are small.
A distribuição amostral finita da estatística de teste difere da distribuição normal prevista pela teoria assintótica quando o tamanho da amostra é pequeno.
2. In statistics, the actual distribution of an estimator for a specific, fixed sample size rather than its limiting behavior
Understanding the finite sample distribution is crucial for making accurate inferences with limited data.
Compreender a distribuição amostral finita é crucial para fazer inferências precisas com dados limitados.
