such as the Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS). The selection mechanisms are the same for
both adjustors and adjustees: text search or regular expression matching, followed by menu
selection, similar to Section 6.4.8, but here the menu selection allows multiple choices. The
mechanics are as follows: Hit
• A to call up a large menu that forms the interface for all adjustment operations.
An example is shown in Figure 6.12. Initially, the list of adjustors and adjustees will be
empty, so both need to be populated with text searches that require a dialog initiated by
selecting the lines
Find ADJUSTORS... and Find ADJUSTEES... in sequence. Figure 6.12 shows
the state after having matched the regular expression
age at|sex p1.CDV for adjustors and
searched the string
CDV for adjustees.
Finally, after selection of adjustors and adjustees is completed, the user may select the
top line of the menu to actually
Do Adjustment. Each raw adjustee will then be replaced by
its residuals obtained from the regression onto the adjustors. (To undo adjustment, select
the second line from the Adjustment dialog,
Undo Adjustment.)
To assist the visual examination of adjustment results, one may want to select the third
line from the top of the menu in order to highlight the adjustors among the x-variables
and the adjustees among the y-variables (
Mark with Highlight Strips...). Turning them
further into reference variables (Section 6.4.7) by hitting
R, we obtain Figure 6.13. As it
should be, the correlations between the two adjustors on the x-axis and the many adjustees

Results of adjustment of the

are reference variables on the y-axis, and the latter on the x-axis. As it should be, the
correlations between adjustors and adjustees vanish.
