We have determined and , and we can similarly obtain the adjusted expectation for any linear combination of and . In particular, we can evaluate the adjusted expectation for each canonical direction and determine their corresponding standardised values:
In each case, these adjusted values are changes from prior expectations of zero. The standardised changes are
Thus, there are changes over both directions of the belief grid, but the change for the second direction (about which we are reducing uncertainty hardly at all, because we have seen that its resolution is ) is somewhat larger than expected, and warns us of a possible complication that may need investigation.
Examination of the standardised adjusted expectation formula for (shown in section 4.5) shows us that the more influential quantity is . This serves as yet another warning that has some peculiar feature.
