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
.
