Prorate
Definition:
(v. t.) To divide or distribute proportionally; to assess pro rata.
Example Sentences:
(1) Only children with normal hearing and a prorated Full Scale IQ of at least 80 (WISC-R) were considered.

(3) Differences in mean prorated numbers of colds per year and durations of illness were 0.09 plus or minus 0.06 (plus or minus 1 standard error) and 0.11 plus or minus 0.24, respectively, favoring ascorbic acid over the placebo.
(4) If a regularly administered WISC-R subtest cannot be administered properly or is invalidated, the manual suggests that a supplementary subtest, either Digit Span or Mazes, can serve as a substitute, but perhaps prorating the sum of scaled scores on the remaining subtests would be better.
(5) When faced with a choice, clinicians should attach greater validity to prorated estimates of a child's WISC--R Verbal IQ.
(6) Analysis indicated that the use of Digit Span as a substitute for the regularly administered Verbal subtests was inferior to the use of the comparable proration method.

(8) Similar correlations for the total group of 10 to 16 year olds (N = 22) were performed (prorating the steady state plasma levels of the slow metabolizers), and these too were highly significant.
(9) Correlations of learning scores on the Aronson Shopping List with WAIS or WAIS--R subtests and prorated IQs were significant.
(10) Proration consistently resulted in higher validities (i.e., correlations between scores on the variant Verbal, Performance, or Full Scale and scores on the corresponding original scale), whereas substitution almost as consistently resulted in higher reliabilities, but in both cases the differences were small.
(11) If Rodriguez accepts Major League Baseball's ruling he not only loses a prorated portion of his considerable salary, it also puts his entire career in jeopardy.
(12) It was found that: (1) the TPT 10 was inadequate for severe damage; (2) the TPT 6 can be used with severe impairment; (3) a method of prorating blocks into time was developed; (4) the TPT 10 and TPT 6 are strongly correlated; (5) there were no order effects when both boards were given; (6) both boards significantly separated controls from brain-damaged subjects; (7) criteria for substitution of the TPT 6 were established; and (8) comparable scales were established for both boards so that an examiner can substitute either TPT for the other.
(13) The amount of vaccine preventable disease in personnel assigned to South Korea was similar to that in occupationally blood-exposed employees (5.5 vs. 5.2 hospitalized cases per 1,000 vaccinees) after prorating exposure to risk based on average number of days of exposure to risk over three years.
