Countedcalculated
Countedcalculated is a coined term used in data analysis to describe a two-stage metric workflow in which raw occurrences are first tallied and then used in a calculation to produce a derived measure. The approach emphasizes separating data collection (counts) from the analytical operation (calculation), allowing for transparent auditing and reuse of counts in multiple calculations.
In practice, a countedcalculated process produces a value by applying a calculation to counts C, often together
Applications include epidemiology, web analytics, quality control, and survey analysis, where counting distinct items is straightforward
Benefits include clarity and reproducibility, since the counting and calculation steps are explicit. Limitations include the
