How can you use “multiplicative” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Given the multiplicative interactions of risk factors for thromboembolic disease and the apparently untoward concurrence of two of them—the contraceptive pill and frequent road trips for the preceding 3 y—the rapid occurrence of the clinical event following initiation of the coxib suggests a causative link to the COX-2 inhibitor.
We therefore constructed appropriate annular zones in the macula for percentage (multiplicative) increases in brightness to be empirically determined using published data on the spatial distribution of macular pigment [ 29 30 ] . These observers found that the macular pigment density (hence optical density) is greatest centrally, drops to half-maximum within a diameter of 500 to 600 μm, reaches a quarter-maximum at a diameter of about 1000 μm, and thence tapers slowly to a low constant level within a 2000 μm diameter region.
Since we were dealing with photography, not photometry, the choice of multiplicative or additive correction attempted to preserve semi-quantitative relationships of reflectance rather than absolute levels or precise numerical relationships [ 31 ] . Further, since reflectance variability was at issue, rather than absolute levels, we considered only the most variable components: the macular luteal pigment, dealt with above, the nerve fiber layer [ 32 33 34 35 ] , and the RPE melanin [ 36 ] . The RPE melanin is denser in the fovea, and as such will reduce the reflectance of underlying drusen in much the same manner as the luteal pigment.
For these arrays we have found additive and multiplicative noise affecting individual gene readouts (typically 5-20%), as well as multiplicative noise affecting entire arrays (often above 20%).
For a single-locus model, therefore, the value of (λ r -1) should decrease by a factor of 2, and a multiplicative model predicts risk on the basis of the product of the individual factors.
