skalierter

Skalierter is a German attributive adjective and past participle derived from the verb skalieren, which means to scale, resize, or calibrate. The term is used to describe something that has been brought to a specific scale or norm, for example by resizing, normalizing, or adjusting to a reference range. While skaliert is the common past participle form, skalierter appears in attributive phrases with masculine singular nouns, such as der skalierte Wert.

In practice, skalierte data, skalierte Bilder and skalierte Modelle are common contexts. Skalierte Daten refer to data that have been scaled, for instance by min–max normalization or standardization to a zero mean and unit variance. In image processing, ein skaliertes Bild denotes an image whose dimensions have been changed by resizing. In modeling and statistics, ein skalierter Faktor or ein skalierter Parameter may be used to indicate that a quantity has been adjusted to match another scale or unit.

Morphology and usage notes: skalierter is the masculine nominative singular form used with definite articles, as in der skalierte Wert, though the exact endings follow standard German adjective declension. Other forms include skalierte (feminine singular or plural) and skaliertes (neuter singular). The base idea remains the same across contexts: something that has been scaled or brought into a comparable scale.
