Maxarvot

Maxarvot is a Finnish term used to refer to the largest values observed in a data set or distribution. In descriptive statistics and data analysis, maxarvot describe the upper extreme of a variable. A single maximum observation is called the maxarvo; when multiple observations share the same upper bound, the term maxarvot may denote that upper portion of the data.

In practice, maxarvot are used to summarize data, to set caps or thresholds, and in normalization (min–max scaling uses both the minimum value and the maximum value). They are also relevant in quality control, risk assessment, and algorithm design where outputs are bounded by a maximum value.

The standard Finnish term for the maximum value is maksimiarvo (plural maksimiarvot). The form maxarvot is common in technical usage influenced by the English word 'max'.
