While reading through statistical power, mention of ‘underpowered statistics’ might be present. The term is mainly used for samples in research. An ‘underpowered’ study is one that lacks a significantly large sample size. Or rather, it is not large enough to gauge answers to the research question(s) at hand. Contrarily, an ‘overpowered’ research study is one with a very large sample size. Size is so large that more resources might be needed to work with it.
