By contrast, simple multiplicative adjustments for birth weights appeared adequate to account for flock differences in effects of both birth type and dam age.
Once "external "parameters such as the various per-diem rates and multiplicative adjustments for public/private and indigenous status are settled on, the iterative process is not significantly more difficult to program, or execute, than the one-step approach upon which it was based.

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).
We calculated multiplicative adjustment factors for mean Delphi EFs for ambulatory cases in the public and private sectors.
A relationship generally existed between multiplicative adjustment factors for these effects and flock means for weaning weight, although these relationships were large and clearly significant only for the factors that were required to adjust weaning weights of single and triplet lambs to a twin-lamb basis.
As flock means for twin lambs from adult ewes increased from 18 to 40 kg, predicted multiplicative adjustment factors for single lambs increased from 0.78 to 0.93 and those for triplet lambs declined from 1.24 to 1.06.
Multiplicative adjustment factors for weaning weights that incorporated effects of birth-rearing type × dam age class interaction were derived by adding records with TBR = 33 and records for yearling and aged dams to the core dataset in Table 1 and fitting effects of all TBR × dam age class subclasses (Table 4).
Multiplicative adjustment factors for lambs with TBR = 33 and raised by aged dams were based on larger numbers of records (n = 168) and not obviously inappropriate relative to those obtained for other dam age classes (Table 4), but they may have been liable to similar, but smaller, biases that are analogous to those hypothesized for yearling dams.
Such multiplicative adjustments reflected typical industry pricing levels for individual life insurance in 2004, taking into account the risk assessment (underwriting) practices in 2011 and accounts for insured lives having lower mortality than general population lives.
For weaning weights, CV among dam age classes were within a 1%% range of CV for adult dams, which suggests that multiplicative adjustments would approximately equalize residual variances among dam age classes.
Both additive and multiplicative adjustments that were required to correct birth weights of single lambs to a twin-lamb equivalent were larger for yearling and 2-year-old dams than for adult dams but did not differ greatly between adult and aged dams (Table 2).
