Pistekohtaisia

Pistekohtaisia is a Finnish adjective form meaning point-specific or pertaining to individual data points. It describes attributes, measurements, or information that apply to each point in a dataset rather than to an overall aggregate. The term is commonly used in data analysis, statistics and geospatial contexts to indicate that results or values are reported for each observation or location separately.

In practice, pistekohtaisia arvoja might be reported for every recorded data point, or pistekohtaisia mittauksia might be taken at different locations or times. Examples: "Tutkimuksessa raportoitiin pistekohtaisia arvoja jokaiselta havaintopaikalta" and "Pistekohtaisia mittauksia verrattiin alueellisiin keskiarvoihin." The concept helps distinguish between point-level data and aggregated summaries like means or totals.

The form pistekohtaisia is the partitive plural of pistekohtainen, used when modifying a plural noun in the partitive case (e.g., arvoja, mittauksia). The base form is pistekohtainen, and the form changes according to Finnish inflection rules.

Limitations: The term is primarily used in technical or academic Finnish. In everyday language, speakers may instead say "jokaiselle havaintopisteelle" or "paikkakohtainen," depending on the context. See also related concepts such as paikkakohtainen data interpretation or alueellinen vs. pistekohtainen analyysi, which refer to broader vs. point-level distinctions in data and interpretation.
