Thank you Maarten, David, Peter, Sami and Richard for your insight and suggestions.
 
I have tested both techniques (one-sided z-test and modifying the model) but will do some more testing before deciding on which one to apply.
I think I am leaning towards modifying the model.
 
Kind regards,
 
Erik.
