Term · Environment · MLC-T-ENV-002311

1. Statistical tests that approach known properties as sample sizes increase.

2. Statistical tests for which the distribution of the test statistic converges to a known distribution as sample sizes increase without limit. Thus the limiting distribution can be used as an approximation for testing hypotheses.
