Definition: Subadditivity
Category: Statistical methodologies
One of the properties of the fn.k) rule or fp.q) rule that assists in the search for complementary cells. The property means that the sensitivity of a union of disjoint cells cannot be greater than the sum of the cells' individual sensitivities (triangle inequality). Subadditivity is an important property because it means that aggregates of cells that are not sensitive are not sensitive either and do not need to be tested. http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/ramon/statmanuals/files/SDC_Handbook.pdf
