Abstract
Implicit statistical arguments are widely used in music analysis to analyze seemingly odd musical aspects and to claim the normative forms of musical structures. Explicit statistical methods are increasingly being used in music theory, as the subject moves more and more toward corpus studies and music informatics. The overview of various statistical and probabilistic reasons that music theorists should take into account when describing musical elements as data for analysis is provided in this essay. When analyzing individual works, conventional statistics may not seem to apply. However, the characteristics of predicted distributions of musical elements in the data may aid in determining if a particular musical trait is a noteworthy discovery or just a coincidence.
