Disaggregation
Origin: Lat. disaggregāre
The process of dividing up a whole into its components and the components into fragments. For example, a nation as a whole can be disaggregated into ZIP Codes, census tracts, block groups, and grids. Disaggregated components can be individually forecasted and then re-assembled into a whole, but there is no evidence that forecasting of disaggregation elements improves accuracy.
Spanish: Desagregación
