adjust

to just, exact.

In measurement technology and metrology [度量衡学], calibration [校准] is the comparison of measurement values delivered by a device under test with those of a calibration standard of known accuracy. Such a standard could be another measurement device of known accuracy, a device generating the quantity to be measured such as a voltage, a sound tone, or a physical artifact [an object made by a human being], such as a meter ruler [米尺-长1m，最小刻度1cm]. The outcome of the comparison can result in one of the following:

1. no significant error being noted on the device under test
2. a significant error being noted but no adjustment made
3. an adjustment made to correct the error to an acceptable level

Strictly speaking, the term "calibration" means just the act of comparison and does not include any subsequent adjustment.

"3 Simple Techniques for Statistically Adjusting Data Posted by Stacey Penczak, Sr. Project Manager"

Data may require statistical adjustments for several reasons, and you have a few different techniques available to use. Consider weighting if you need to make the sample data more representative of the target population. Variable respecification is beneficial when you need to modify or create new variables that are more consistent with your research objectives. Employ dummy variables if the coding used is not conducive to statistical analysis. Lastly, scale transformation enables you to compare data across various scales and can be particularly helpful for multi-country research projects.

比如你调研了消费者喜欢的汽车颜色，收到了n份问卷调查。有购买意向的人的意见对你来说更重要——你是为了卖车啊。红白黑没法当数处理，你可以用1代表红，2白3黑。或者你调研购车意向，意向度设计成1到100，完事后发现去年同事做的是1到10。怎么和他的结果比较？他的9分在你这里成了几乎不可能买。

administer

不是以er结尾的都是名词。Windows的管理员账户叫administrator，superintendent/caretaker是楼管，乒乓球的发球是serve。

(serve, attend) => (help, aid, be of service to) => (manage as a steward, control or regulate on behalf of others)

steward: 服务员、干事(顾名思义:-)); regulate: 控制/管理; on behalf of: 代表。
