Nonadjusted

Nonadjusted refers to a state where something has not been altered, modified, or corrected. In various contexts, it implies that the original or raw form remains intact. For instance, in finance, nonadjusted figures might represent earnings or prices before accounting for inflation, taxes, or other economic factors. These raw figures provide a baseline for further analysis.

In statistics, nonadjusted data is the initial collection of observations without any statistical adjustments applied. These adjustments are often made to account for known biases or variations, such as seasonal changes in sales figures or demographic differences in survey results. Therefore, nonadjusted data provides the unvarnished reality of the measurements.

Similarly, in the context of measurements or readings, a nonadjusted value is the direct output from an instrument or sensor. Any subsequent modifications to this value would be considered adjustments, perhaps to calibrate the instrument or to correct for environmental conditions. The term emphasizes the absence of any manipulation or refinement, presenting the item in its most straightforward, unembellished state.
