Rfv-sense "(statistics) sensitivity"; I think this sense is a misunderstanding and the correct sense is rather "resolution", as already is on the page. Statistical sensitivity in turn is usually herkkyys. Added by @Hekaheka. — SURJECTION / T / C / L / 11:14, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
- You seem to be 50% right. Sensitivity is not correct English translation for "erottelukyky" in statistics but nor is resolution[1]. In statistics and epidemiology "erottelu" is discrimination and "erottelukyky" is discrimination power [2]. --Hekaheka (talk) 08:08, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
- By studying the topic a bit further I have learned that erotuskyky (“resolution”) and erottelukyky (“discriminating power”) are partially separate concepts. First one belongs to the world of measurements and optics and the second one to statistics. The problem is that erottelukyky is in practice used as synonym to erotuskyky. --Hekaheka (talk) 10:16, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
