The phrase "additive adjustments" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where modifications or changes are made in a cumulative manner, often in fields like finance, engineering, or data analysis.
Example: "The final cost of the project includes several additive adjustments based on the initial estimates and unforeseen expenses."
Alternatives: "cumulative modifications" or "incremental changes".
The former approach allows environmental effects to be estimated simultaneously with genetic effects in the statistical model and, for most models used in BV prediction, it results in additive adjustments for the effects of these variables.
Consistent with the approach of Elliott and colleagues [9 844], we interpret the respondent status interaction effects that were observed in the present study as "nonexperimental estimates of the effect of proxy respondents" that otherwise (if only simpler additive adjustments were made) would have resulted in biased parameter estimates when modeling functional status decline.
This bias was reduced by using additive adjustment factors or multiplicative factors that were derived as simple exponential functions of flock means for weaning weight.
For weaning weights, additive adjustment factors were not associated with the level of flock performance, but multiplicative adjustment factors were strongly and inversely related to flock means for weaning weights (W).
Thus, the use of additive adjustment factors would be expected to result in larger weaning weight deviations from management-group means for single lambs and smaller deviations for lambs with 1- and 2-year-old dams.
This bias was reduced by using additive adjustment factors and could also be removed by using flock-specific multiplicative factors derived as simple functions of flock means for weaning weight.
Thus, additive adjustment factors for yearling dams with TBR = 33 were derived by adding corresponding additive factors for 2-year-old dams to the difference between 1- and 2-year-old ewes that raise twin lambs (e.g., as 5.26 + (4.38 -1.87 = 7.77).
Thus, the effect of flock performance level on differences in apparent bias in adjusted weaning weights for single lambs in high- versus low-performance flocks was highly significant for the simple multiplicative adjustment (P < 0.001) and approached significance (P = 0.06) for the simple additive adjustment.
The mean difference in adjusted weaning weight between single and twin lambs in low-performance flocks was equal to 0.72 ± 0.48 kg (P = 0.16) following the application of a simple additive adjustment factor but reached 1.26 ± 0.42 kg (P = 0.01) if a simple multiplicative factor was applied (Table 5).
Thereby through adjusting the choice of the plants, biosynthesis of spherical or triangular GNPs might be size controllable, which could be of great environmental and operational advantages over those chemical methods employing additives for adjustment [36].
Therefore, BicPAM makes available an additional option to combine the use of the sign and of the additive or multiplicative adjustments together for every column (or row).
