Disentangling Bias and Variance in Election Polls
It is well known among researchers and practitioners that election polls su↵er from a variety of sampling and non-sampling errors, often collectively referred to as total survey error. Reported margins of error typically only capture sampling variability, and in particular, generally ignore non-sampling errors in defining the target population (e.g., errors due to uncertainty in who will vote)....
متن کاملUniversal Ecological Patterns in College Basketball Communities
The rank abundance of common and rare species within ecological communities is remarkably consistent from the tropics to the tundra. This invariant patterning provides one of ecology's most enduring and unified tenets: most species rare and a few very common. Increasingly, attention is focused upon elucidating biological mechanisms that explain these species abundance distributions (SADs), but ...
متن کاملScheduling a Major College Basketball Conference - Revisited
Nemhauser and Trick presented the problem of nding a timetable for the 1997/98 Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) in basketball. Their solution, found with a combination of integer programming and exhaustive enumeration, was accepted by the ACC. Finite-domain constraint programmingis another programming technique that can be used for solving combinatorial search problems such as sports tournament ...
متن کاملScheduling A Major College Basketball Conference
The nine universities in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) have a basketball competition in which each school plays home and away games against each other over a nine-week period. The creation of a suitable schedule is a very di cult problem with a myriad of con icting requirements and preferences. We develop an approach to scheduling problems that uses a combination of integer programming an...
متن کاملStochastic Fuzzy Discrimination Information Measure Cost Function in Image Processing
A new cost function based on stochastic fuzzy discrimination information measure is introduced in this paper. Focusing on their significant parts, this cost function is used to find the optimal value of threshold for denoising image. It is, in fact, an extension of fuzzy entropy cost function by the present author. Multivariable normal distribution is used for creating focus on significant part...
