I deal with some big (TB-level) partitioned tables where the application does a hybrid of querying both the master and the child tables directly. This clarification will be very useful.
Thank you again!

Whole-tree stats are a different thing from per-table stats. What ANALYZE on a parent table produces is (1) stats for that table alone and (2) summary stats for the whole inheritance tree rooted at that table. If you want (3) stats for a child table alone then you need to ANALYZE that child table by name.
