korrigeret

Korrigeret is a Danish word that functions as both an adjective and the past participle of the verb korrigere, meaning to correct or amend. When something is described as korrigeret, it has been revised to fix errors, improve accuracy, or reflect updated information. The term is widely used across different domains, from publishing and journalism to science and statistics, to indicate that a previous version or dataset has been amended.

In publishing and editing, korrigeret refers to a text that has undergone proofreading and revisions, producing a corrected version. A korrigeret manuscript, article, or faktaboks signals that errors have been addressed. In everyday language it may also describe a statement that has been clarified or corrected after initial publication.

In science and statistics, korrigeret describes data or results adjusted for bias, measurement error, or multiple testing. The phrase korrigeret p-værdi is common in Danish statistical literature to denote a corrected p-value. Similarly, korrigeret data or korrigerede tal refer to figures that have been recalculated after applying a correction method.

Etymology and grammar: The form korrigeret derives from korrigere, which traces back to Latin corrigere, likely entering Danish through Germanic or other European languages in the early modern period. Grammatically, korrigeret behaves as a participial adjective and agrees with the noun it modifies: en korrigeret tekst, et korrigeret resultat. It can also appear in predicative use: Teksten er korrigeret.
