hmm... not too sure about that
Note from asker:
"component present at 0.1 percent level" shows up at the end of one table just beside the the given sentence. Does "vary around" indicate something specific in maths?

在...左右变动;约

vary around xxx:
我觉得本意是指数据在xxx(大小)附近变动,意思是实际上的值有多个,它们在具体数值上可能有细小差别,但都在xxx附近。
比如 98.9, 99.3, 100, 99.9 这些数,可以称为 vary around 100.

具体译法,要看书写习惯和读者了。如果是技术人员翻译这类东西给同行看,很可能就直接译为“在...附近变动”之类,同行也可以非常自然地接受并理解。

另外也可以译为:
约为xxx的各种值:这里将vary around xxx意译为“约为xxx”,ratios和absolute values是复数,表示可能有多个值,所以译为“各种值”。

最后参考译法:
大小约为100%的各种比率值/大小约为0的各种绝对值

given as xxx:数据的表示形式为xxx,译法要看上下文了。有时可以不译。

仅供参考。
