German term or phrase: verdichtet
Is there any specific term for verdichten?
Here is the context:
Indem die historischen Daten dieser Größe zu einer Entwicklung verdichtet und zur besseren Veranschaulichung meist grafisch in Form eines Liniendiagramms dargestellt werden, stellt man allein diese konstruierte Größe in den Mittelpunkt der Beobachtung und verleiht ihr damit den Charakter von Eigenständigkeit

Notes to answerer
Asker: I thought about condensed as well, however, I think there must be a specific term. In this context it doesn't mean more accuracy, but less -- thought about truncated data, but that would mean shortened --


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Ken Cox: corrresponds to the usage in my (old) Elsevier multilingual math dictionary (and the continuation of your quote says that (at least in that case) it involves eliminating anomalous data...)

Explanation:
Historical/past data is/are (BE vs. AmE) aggregated to form/represent a trend.

(But this is nothing more than just another guess.)

summarized


Explanation:
You say that in your context it doesn't mean more accuracy but less. Then why not simply say "summarize"?

It's obviously used widely. Here is an example how SAP used summarize and translates with "verdichten".

There isn't really enough context to judge whether any of these other options may also work here. Perhaps not direct translations but maybe alternatives:
join
combine
union
rollup (program-specific?)

Perhaps this gives some more ideas.
