tulosparin

Tulosparin is the genitive form of the Finnish compound noun tulospari, which means a pair of results or outcomes. The term is used in Finnish to refer to two related results produced by an experiment, observation, or data set. As a possessive form, tulosparin connects the concept to another noun, for example tulosparin arvo (the value of the result pair) or tulosparin jakauma (the distribution of the result pair).

Etymology and grammar: tulos means outcome or result, pari means pair; together they form tulospari. The genitive singular is tulosparin; the plural is tulosparien. In practice, tulosparin modifies another noun to indicate belonging or relation, such as tulosparin arvo or tulosparin kuvaus.

Usage and domains: The term is primarily seen in Finnish-language statistics, experiment reports, and data analysis discussions. It denotes a two-element outcome pair, such as in a two-trial experiment or a bivariate observation. Common phrases include tulosparin jakauma (the distribution of the result pair) and tulosparin riippuvuus (the dependence within the result pair). Esimerkki: Tutkimuksessa analysoimme tulosparin ensimmäisen ja toisen tuloksen välistä riippuvuutta.

Relation to English terms: The concept has no widely used direct English term; in English texts, authors might describe it as a "pair of outcomes" or "joint outcomes" depending on context. In Finnish, tulosparin is a common grammatical form used when the two results are treated as a unit or considered in relation to another variable.
