tiedotusarvoista

Tiedotusarvoista is Finnish and functions as the elative plural form of tiedotusarvo, meaning data values from which statements or analyses may be derived. The base term tiedotusarvo refers to a single data value recorded in a data set. The plural tiedotusarvot denotes multiple such values, while the elative plural tiedotusarvoista is used in phrases that indicate source or basis, for example to denote conclusions or observations derived from the data values.

In statistical and data-analytic writing, tiedotusarvot are the basic elements collected during a study. They represent individual measurements or observations within a data set and are used to describe the data, explore patterns, or perform further analysis. Derived statistics such as means, medians, variances, or correlations are calculated from tiedotusarvot, but the term itself refers specifically to the observed values rather than to the summary measures. The context of use often determines whether tiedotusarvot is referred to in singular, plural, or the elative form tiedotusarvoista.

The term is largely technical and appears in formal Finnish texts related to data collection, data management, and statistical reporting. It is commonly contrasted with related concepts such as havaintoarvo (an individual observation value) and various tilastolliset tunnusluvut (statistical indicators), which describe summarized aspects of the data.
