Asymptotic Distribution

Asymptotic distribution refers to the behavior of a statistical estimator or a test statistic as the sample size becomes very large. In simpler terms, it's like observing how the average results from many experiments or surveys behave when you gather more and more data. The distribution indicates how likely different outcomes are as the sample size increases, often approaching a specific shape, such as the normal distribution. This concept helps statisticians make predictions and draw conclusions that are reliable, even when working with large amounts of data.
