Variable sampling: A statistical analysis method where a subset of data from a larger population is examined to draw conclusions about the larger set. In the context of system auditing and security, variable sampling might be used to analyze patterns of behavior, detect anomalies, and identify potential threats or vulnerabilities. The goal is to uncover insights that can help improve system security without the need to analyze every single piece of data.
