peer agreement (net): +8adjust/adjusted for XYZ Explanation: is the standard term :-) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 mins (2005-05-19 13:46:01 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- i.e. *the number of calls related to ... info line, and disruptions can be adjusted to calculate/compute the number of interrupted calls for additional analyses and statistics* -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 mins (2005-05-19 13:46:43 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- in other contexts, write *XYZ can be/is/was adjusted for* or: *XYZ, adjusted for XYZ* -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 mins (2005-05-19 13:48:40 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- some examples: adjusted for inflation adjusted for currency translation differences the Web will provide plenty of references! :-) Bereinigungen durchfuehren=make adjustments to XYZ -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 28 mins (2005-05-19 14:10:38 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- If your text says that XYZ is being ignored, then you should render it as such; however, in the example you provided, *bereinigt=adjusted* actually means that a particular number of XYZ calls are subtracted by a mathematical operation whereby all calls are added and then multiplied by factor XYZ, such factor representing the number of calls by which the total was adjusted. You could also render your sentence as: *For example, to arrive at/obtain the number of interrupted calls for additional analyses and statistics, all calls/the number of total calls are/is adjusted by the number of calls related to ... info line, and disruptions* -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 32 mins (2005-05-19 14:13:47 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- ooops, to add to my explanation above: The number of XYZ calls is factually \"ignored\" by multiplying the total number of calls by factor XYZ. The multiplication operation implies that XYZ number is being taken into account. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 41 mins (2005-05-19 14:23:07 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Though math and statistics are not my strong suit ;-), everything must be accounted for by means of a variety of mathematical operations; this is what *adjust/adjusted for* expresses/implies. You can\'t just ignore data; you have to find a mathematical way to exclude it, i.e. consider it by adjustment. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr 4 mins (2005-05-19 14:46:33 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- In accounting and statistics, numbers are also adjusted for \"internal\" factors and occurrences, such as in this case. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr 12 mins (2005-05-19 14:54:17 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- \"aufaddieren und ... multiplizieren\" is an adjustment operation because the resulting total is less than the sum you started out with: 238 x 0.93 = 221.34 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr 28 mins (2005-05-19 15:10:28 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- I don\'t think *clean* is the operation that\'s being performed here. See, e.g.: \"The survey data were cleaned for possible inconsistencies and errors and adjusted for missing data and outliers.\" www.worldbank.org/research/inequality/data.htm \"therefore, be considered to be \'absolute\'; definitive data have also been cleaned for spikes, step offsets, and other artifacts and contamination.\" geomag.usgs.gov/datadesc.html and plenty of other examples! :-) |
