Unanalyzed

Unanalyzed is an adjective describing something that has not yet undergone analysis, interpretation, or processing. It is commonly used in research to distinguish raw observations, data, or materials from items that have been examined and interpreted.

The term is formed from the prefix un- attached to analyzed. In British English, the variant unanalysed is also used, reflecting different spellings of the root verb analyse.

In linguistics, unanalyzed data refers to language input that has not been parsed, glossed, or annotated with morpho-syntactic information or phonetic transcription. Unanalyzed items may be units that researchers have not yet identified or categorized.

In data science and related fields, unanalyzed data denotes raw measurements, survey responses, images, or other observations that have not yet been cleaned, transformed, or subjected to statistical or computational analysis.

Examples include unanalyzed speech samples awaiting transcription, or a dataset consisting of raw sensor readings kept in their original format.
