I have always found it awkward to translate "la maîtrise" except when it is "la maîtrise du japonais ou du français" (a good command of Japanese, etc.).
or "la maîtrise de la situation" (to have a control on the situation".
my problem is with : "la maîtrise de l'outil informatique", "la maîtrise des statistiques", etc.
"a better knowledge of trade statistics" seems weak to me. "a better grasp" too colloquial and "better command" is wrong, and "mastery" irrelevant.

Comment: "if "a very good command of statistical methods and technologies" is good enough for the UN, it's good enough for me.

by the way "la maîtrise de la situation" is more "to have the situation under control"

Note from asker:
| I agree: some notion of "skill" rather than knowledge is involved, and that of "exercising control" is there too. Thanks anyway. |
