Statistically-trained readers of this blog will be very familiar with the Central Limit Theorem, which describes the asymptotic sampling distribution of the mean of a random vector composed of IID variables. Even if you're doing frequentist statistics, you have to make some assumptions about the world and about your data. I think that the jury is still out on whether the t-statistic finite sample or asymptotic values are better. Here is a practical and mathematically rigorous introduction to the field of asymptotic statistics. PS: Drew Conway wants me to note that Julia likes big matrices. Others are large samples of test statistics with asymptotic χ2 distributions.
