"point of view" grammar I'm writing a paper in English and I've came up with a sentence that seems kind of outlandish me! This is the sentence: " it is deducted that the results of Finn model are in a better agreement with those of Pastor from the peak value point of view" is the usage of "peak value" before "point of view" correct in this sentence??

Is that your own sentence? If so - I would suggest that (1) 'deducted' - is not the ideal word there. Deducted usually means 'subtracted'. Even 'deduced' is not ideal, as that suggests a logical inference, rather than what sounds like an empirical relationship. (2) of _the_ Finn model. But yes - your use of 'point of view' is correct. I guess you are comparing how the two models predict the peak of some function?

Yes, that is fine, though it is less formal (and it looks like you're writing a scientific paper). "from the _______ point of view" is the general structure and you have used it perfectly. A more academic sounding phrase could be "with respect to peak value". "it is deducted" - I think you have the wrong (but similar looking) verb here. To deduct means to subtract, make (a number) smaller. to deduct /dɪˈdʌkt/ (past: deducted) to deduce /dɪˈdus/ (past: deduced) Though written similar, the 'u' sound in the two is very different /ʌ/ versus /u/.

It is the correct usage but the sentence is not possible to understand without the context because I don't know who Peak is or what the Finn model is. Can you explain it?
