= Asymptotic distribution
{wiki=Asymptotic_distribution}
Asymptotic distribution refers to the probability distribution that a sequence of random variables converges to as some parameter tends to infinity, often as the sample size increases. This concept is fundamental in statistics and probability theory, particularly in the context of statistical inference and large-sample approximations. In particular, asymptotic distributions are used to describe the behavior of estimators or test statistics when the sample size grows large.
