The term "特徴量" in English is typically translated as "feature" or "feature value" in the context of machine learning, data analysis, or statistics. It refers to an individual measurable property or characteristic of a phenomenon being observed.

In machine learning, a feature is an input variable (or attribute) used in models to predict an output. For example, in a dataset of houses, features might include size, number of rooms, or location.

If the context involves more mathematical or technical details, "特徴量" could be specifically referred to as "feature quantity" or "characteristic value."

In the context of machine learning, data analysis, etc., is it because the meaning of 量 is included in the word "feature" that the translation of 特徴量 is "feature"?

Yes, in the context of machine learning and data analysis, the translation of "特徴量" as "feature" includes the meaning of "量" (which means "quantity" or "value") implicitly. In machine learning, the term "feature" encompasses both the qualitative and quantitative aspects of the characteristics being measured.

Here's how it works:

• 特徴 means "feature" or "characteristic."
• 量 means "quantity" or "value," referring to the measurable aspect of the characteristic.

In English, the word "feature" in machine learning typically refers to both the characteristic itself and its measurable value. So, the term "特徴量" is often just shortened to "feature" because the notion of a measurable value (the "量") is already implied in the context of machine learning.

If we were to translate "特徴量" literally, it would be "feature value" or "feature quantity," but in practice, the concise term "feature" captures the full meaning in machine learning contexts.
