Liukulukuarvoina

Liukulukuarvoina is a Finnish term used in technical Finnish to describe numerical values produced by a sliding window or sliding computation. The term does not appear in standard dictionaries and is considered specialized or neologistic; its usage is mostly confined to scientific literature, data science blogs, or industry reports in Finnish.

The word is formed by combining liuku (sliding) with lukuarvo (numerical value), with the instrumental plural ending -ina to indicate 'as values' or 'in the form of values'. In practice, liukulukuarvoina refers to the set of values generated when an operation is applied across successive overlapping windows in time-series data, such as moving averages, moving medians, or windowed feature calculations.

Common contexts include signal processing, statistics, and data visualization, where sliding-window transforms help track changes over time, smooth noise, or extract features. The term is generally used when the focus is on the resulting values rather than the method per se, though it remains somewhat informal and non-standard.

Alternatives and related concepts include the moving average, referred to in Finnish as liukuva keskiarvo, and other sliding-window statistics. In formal writing, speakers may prefer phrases such as "liukuvien arvojen tulokset" or "liikkuvaan ikkunaan perustuvat arvot."

See also: moving average, sliding window, time-series smoothing. Note: Because liukulukuarvoina is not a widely standardized term, readers should clarify its meaning from the context.
