Morphology

statistical + procedure

The meaning is directly compositional: 'statistical' (relating to statistics) modifies 'procedure' (ordered steps), so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer it denotes a method using statistics to analyze data. This adjective + noun pattern is common and cross-linguistically transparent, making the phrase predictable without prior exposure.

Etymology

Statistical procedure is like a recipe for numbers: statistical means the numbers about a group and procedure means the steps you follow. So a statistical procedure is a clear set of steps, a 'method' you use to look at data and get results.
