signifas
Signifas is a term used in certain theoretical discussions to denote a compact numerical mark that encodes both the significance and directional influence of a variable within a data-analysis or decision-making context. In these discussions, a signifa (plural signifas) is a signed real value assigned to a feature or event, with the sign indicating the direction of effect and the magnitude reflecting strength. The collection of signifas across features forms a signifa profile, used to summarize model explanations or statistical results.
Formal properties: Signifas are real numbers, typically normalized into a bounded interval such as [−1, 1], though
Calculation and interpretation: Several methods exist; common approaches derive a signifa from p-values and effect sizes,
Applications: In model explainability, signifa profiles are used to summarize which features most influence predictions; in
History and status: Signifa is a relatively new term and has not achieved universal adoption. Different researchers

Example: In a linear model, feature X with a signifa of +0.72 indicates a strong positive influence
