In the same way that we can evaluate a size and an expected size for any general adjustment, we can also evaluate a size and an expected size for a partial adjustment. For our example, the sizes and size ratios for the full adjustment; the partial adjustment; and the simple adjustment by only are shown in figure 2.
Figure 2: Sizes for the adjustments and
The size ratio for the overall adjustment is roughly , and the size ratio for the simple adjustment by is , neither being surprising values. However the size ratio for the partial adjustment is , nearly four times more than expected and suggesting an inconsistency between prior specification and data for the additional adjustment by .
