Auswertbare

Auswertbare is a German adjective meaning capable of being evaluated, analyzed, or processed. It derives from the verb auswerten, which means to evaluate, analyze, or process data or information. The term is commonly used in scientific, statistical, and methodological contexts to describe data, results, or materials that can be subjected to formal analysis. Typical collocations include auswertbare Daten (analyzable data), auswertbare Ergebnisse (analyzable results), and auswertbare Messreihen (analyzable measurement series).

Grammatically, auswertbare is the attributive form used before a noun; its ending changes with gender, number, and case (for example, die auswertbaren Daten, ein auswertbares Verfahren). In predicative position one would say Die Daten sind auswertbar. The base form auswertbar can also appear without the attributive ending in fixed expressions or as a standalone predicate adjective.

Etymology and related terms: auswertbare is built from auswerten (to evaluate or analyze) with the suffix -bar, indicating capability. Related terms include Auswertung (evaluation/analysis), analysierbar (analyzable), and auswerten as the verb itself. In English-language contexts, equivalents include analyzable or evaluatable, depending on nuance.

In use, auswertbare data or results indicate suitability for statistical methods, interpretation, or decision-making, distinguishing them from information that cannot be effectively processed due to missing values, biases, or methodological limitations.
