ETWerte

ETWerte is a German-language term that may refer to several distinct concepts in different disciplines. It is not a single standardized term; its meaning depends on the field and the accompanying context. The common element is that ETWerte denotes numerical values tied to a specific metric abbreviated by ET.

In statistics and probability, ET often stands for Erwartungswert, the expected value of a random variable. In this sense ET-Werte would refer to expected values or to outputs of models that summarize central tendency, such as E[X]. The calculation depends on the distribution; discrete case E[X] = sum x p(x), continuous case E[X] = ∫ x f(x) dx.

In real estate appraisal, ETWerte can denote Ertragswerte, i.e., income-based values derived from the expected profitability of a property. In the Ertragswertverfahren, the value is typically related to net operating income and a capitalization rate, reflecting the property’s capacity to generate earnings.

In hydrology and agronomy, ET often stands for evapotranspiration (ET). ET-Werte thus refer to evapotranspiration values, used to estimate water loss from land surfaces; common units include millimeters per year or millimeters per day, and they feed into water balance calculations and crop models.

In practice, one should look for a definition within the document or dataset where ETWerte appears, since different domains may reuse the abbreviation. Without context, ETWerte remains ambiguous.
