The central idea of the paper is that, when faced with the desired family size question, both constrained and unconstrained couples compare their demand for children with knowledge of their biological supply...

The missing information for the rejected applicants and the sorting mechanism of the preceding scoring can lead to a sample selection bias. In other words, mostly inferior classification results are achieved if these new rules are applied to the whole population of a...
متن کاملSample Selection Bias Correction Theory
This paper presents a theoretical analysis of sample selection bias correction. The sample bias correction technique commonly used in machine learning consists of reweighting the cost of an error on each training point of a biased sample to more closely reflect the unbiased distribution. This relies on weights derived by various estimation techniques based on finite samples. We analyze the effe...
