Deutsch Begriff oder Satz: Heruntergewichtung
Context:

"Eine noch stärkere Heruntergewichtung der Varianzen"
"Stärkere Heruntergewichtung der Emissionen bei ... als bei ..."
"Ausschließlich Heruntergewichtung bei ..."

Obviously has something to do with weighting, but perhaps like rounding down, I suspect.

downweighting
Erklärung:
I assume that we are talking about some sort of statistical analysis in which different factors are assigned different weights. What result you get then depends on how you weight the individual factors, and downweighting some of them will produce a different outcome.

There are plenty of uses of the term in statistical texts, e.g.
“If a generalized least-squares regression method (such as the IGRS (WRS) method, as in (6.18) and (6.19) above is used to correct for these unequal error variances, in effect downweighting the longer-time-interval repeat-sales pairs in the regression, then there will a tendency for standard errors to be larger on longer-interval index differences. Even so, the effect of such downweighting in causing unequal standard errors may be much less than one might think.”

weighted less heavily


Erklärung:
Could it be that some sets of variances are weighted less heavily than others..? Your context will help determine that..

Heruntergewichtung
a lower weight (change sentence)


Erklärung:
I would suggest something like
"the variances would receive an even lower weight"
That is, using a verb instead of the typical German noun- monster
"assign a lower weigh to the emissions" etc.
