Okay. Functional spec for statistical energy mgmt software again. I think "Dichtheit" is "data integrity" here, but am also wondering about "data leakage". Any thoughts - please give justification/references. :-)

Please treat this suggestion with a pinch of salt as I'm concluding from quoted sources (being no expert in stats). Experts' comments welcome.

Closeness
Is it possible that this is not a technical term at all but just meant literally?
When importing data the programm checks if the data actually makes sense. One of those checks might very well check how close the points are. Especially if the points represent timed events in a series.
The only mathematically usage of the word 'dicht' (that I can think of right now) translates as "densely ordered" and would not fit here, as it is just exactly the sort of quality that a series does not have.
