selekcyjne

Selekcyjne is a Polish adjective derived from the noun selekcja (selection). It designates processes, methods, or systems that involve selecting a subset from a larger set, screening, or filtering. The term is widely used across disciplines to indicate that selection is a defining part of the mechanism, without specifying the direction or outcome of the selection.

In biology and agriculture, it is used in phrases such as rozmnażanie selekcyjne (selective breeding) and in reference to evolutionary processes like selekcja naturalna (natural selection) and selekcja seksualna (sexual selection). In computing and data processing, it describes filtering or choosing elements, for example algorytmy selekcyjne (selection algorithms), operacje selekcyjne (selection operations), or techniki selekcji cech (feature selection) in machine learning.

In medicine and public health, the term appears in discussions of screening or triage procedures described as selekcyjne, or used with kryteria selekcji to identify individuals for testing or treatment.

The nuance of the word is that it labels the presence of selection, not its desirability or outcome, leaving interpretation to context. Zobacz także: selekcja, selekcja naturalna, selekcja seksualna, algorytmy selekcyjne, cechy selekcyjne.
