Evaluating the adjusted expectation

We have shown what we expect to happen: let us now introduce data into the analysis by evaluating the adjusted expectations shown in figure 10 for our actual observations, and . We can see this output if we select the a  option of the SHOW:  command:

BD>show: a

 
Figure 15:  Adjusted expectations evaluated

giving the output shown in figure 15. The numbers given here are the adjusted expectations, and , for the two quantities of interest, given the particular observed .

As before, we can add the `+' symbol to our option to obtain further details on the evaluations of the adjusted expectations:

Figure 16:  Adjusted expectations details

giving the output shown in figure 16. This output (which is discussed further in section 5.2) gives the following information: reading from left to right, and using to illustrate, we have

• the name of the element, ;
• the element's initial expectation, ;
• the element's adjusted expectation for the data actually seen, ;
• the element's standardised adjustment, (for an interpretation see section 5.3).
