Parametritettyjä

Parametritettyjä is a Finnish term meaning parameterized, used as the plural partitive form of the past passive participle parametritetty. It describes objects or concepts that have been defined or described with one or more parameters rather than in a fully explicit form. The form is typical in technical writing and occurs with nouns in the partitive plural, for example parametritettyjä malleja, parametritettyjä käyriä, or parametritettyjä järjestelmiä.

In mathematics and geometry, parameterization expresses a set or object through one or more parameters, often a variable such as t. Parameterized curves, surfaces, and families of objects are given by functions of these parameters. In computer science, parameterized concepts include parameterized algorithms and parameterized complexity, where aspects like running time or behavior depend on a parameter in addition to input size. In statistics, parameterized models define probability distributions through a finite set of parameters, such as the mean and variance.

The term highlights the role of parameters in analysis, modeling, and computation. While parametritettyjä is understood in Finnish technical writing, many authors prefer variants such as parametrisoidut or parametrisoidut mallit. Parametritettyjä tends to appear in contexts where the grammar requires a plural partitive construction or when the writer chooses a specific stylistic form.
