datenbedingte

Datenbedingte is a German attributive adjective formed from Daten and bedingt, meaning conditioned by data or data-dependent. It describes phenomena whose occurrence or magnitude is determined by data characteristics such as quality, availability, representativeness, timeliness or processing constraints. The term is common in scientific, statistical and IT writing.

In practice, datenbedingte Phänomene include datenbedingte Verzerrungen (biases caused by non-representative samples or incomplete data), datenbedingte Unsicherheiten (uncertainties stemming from data limitations), datenbedingte Verzögerungen (delays due to data collection or processing), and datenbedingte Interpretationsschwierigkeiten (difficulties interpreting results because of data constraints). The phrase emphasizes that the effect arises from data rather than from theory or method alone.

Compared with related terms, datengetrieben (data-driven) describes processes or decisions driven by data overall, whereas datenabhängig describes dependence on data values. datenbezogen means data-related in a broader sense. datenbedingt focuses on conditioning effects attributable to data characteristics.

In usage, the adjective can modify many nouns, e.g., datenbedingte Effekte, datenbedingte Probleme, datenbedingte Qualitätsprobleme. It is widely understood in German-language technical writing, especially in data science, statistics, information systems and research methodology.
