Morphology
The meaning 'a procedure used to analyze or represent statistical data' is directly and compositionally derived from 'statistical' (relating to statistics) modifying 'method' (a procedure). This is a regular noun–modifier construction found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will reliably infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Statistical method comes from statistical (about numbers or data) and method (a clear step-by-step way). Imagine you have a pile of numbers and you follow a simple recipe to turn them into a clear result—so the phrase means 'a step-by-step way to study and show data'.
