analytikossanasta

Analytikossanasta is a term used to describe a structured glossary of terms, phrases, and definitions common to analysts. It serves as a reference to improve precision in communication among analysts and between analysts and other stakeholders, and to support consistent documentation and reporting.

Etymology: The word is Finnish, formed from analytikko (analyst) and sanasto (glossary, vocabulary), with the genitive suffix -sta. Used as a proper noun, Analytikossanasta denotes the collection or its compiler.

Scope: Entries typically cover core analytics topics such as data concepts (dataset, variable, observation), statistical terms (mean, median, variance, correlation), modeling (regression, classification, cross‑validation, overfitting), data processing (ETL, cleaning, normalization), and evaluation and reporting (accuracy, precision, recall, ROC‑AUC, KPI, dashboard). The glossary may also include domain‑specific terms for finance, health, marketing, or research.

Purpose and usage: Maintained by data teams, educators, or organizations, analytikossanasta supports onboarding, cross‑team understanding, and auditability of analyses. It can be public within a department or private to a company, depending on sensitivity and licensing.

Localization and standards: In Finnish contexts, it aligns with Finnish terminology conventions; in international settings it is typically linked to English equivalents and accompanied by translations to ensure interoperability and clarity across teams.
