(physics) Of, or relating to statistical mechanics.

(physics) The branch of physics that uses statistical laws to make theoretical predictions about macroscopic systems of particles.

The process of examining data to draw conclusions or insights, and determine cause-and-effect patterns between events; for example determining the safety and efficacy of new drugs by drawing out a probability as to whether the fact that a patient got better (or worse) was due to the drug or some other (perhaps random) factor.

(statistics) A measure of how unlikely it is that a result has occurred by chance.

(statistics) Drawing conclusions about a population from a random sample drawn from it, or, more generally, about a random process from its observed behavior during a finite period of time.
