näitumissagedusega

Näitumissagedus is an Estonian linguistic term that combines *näitumine* (display or appearance) and *sagedus* (frequency). It refers to the rate or frequency at which an element, such as text, an icon, a video clip, or a data point, is shown to an audience or user. The concept is employed in various domains, including digital media, software user interface design, and epidemiology, where the appearance frequency of symptoms or cases is recorded.

In user interface (UI) design, näitumissagedus is a key metric for determining how often a notification, pop‑up, or banner should be presented to a user in order to balance visibility with intrusiveness. Designers often use A/B testing to measure the optimal frequency that maximizes engagement without causing fatigue. For instance, a reminder alert for a medication schedule might have a 4‑hour näitumissagedus to ensure timely dosing while preventing annoyance.

In broadcast media, the term can describe how frequently a video clip or advertisement appears within a time slot, affecting viewer exposure and advertising effectiveness. Media analysts use näitumissagedus to compare promotional strategies across channels.

In the medical field, particularly in epidemiology, näitumissagedus denotes the rate at which a symptom appears in a patient population over a defined period. Recording symptom frequency assists clinicians and public health officials in tracking disease outbreaks, evaluating treatment efficacy, and allocating resources.

The term is commonly used in Estonian technical documentation, academic research, and professional practices that require precise measurement of how often information is presented or observed.
