How Effective Are Federally Mandated Information Disclosures?
Government mandates to disclose information are a standard response to problems of asymmetric information. We examine recent major U.S. regulations issued between 2008 and 2013 to identify disclosure mandates and look for quantitative assessments of their effectiveness in improving comprehension. We also reviewed the retrospective regulatory review reports of four federal agencies – prepared pu...
متن کاملDrawing inferences from Fano factor calculations.
An important characterization of neural spiking is the ratio of the variance to the mean of the spike counts in a set of intervals--the Fano factor. For a Poisson process, the theoretical Fano factor is exactly one. For simulated or experimental neural data, the sample Fano factor is never exactly one, but often appears close to one. In this short communication, we characterize the distribution...
متن کاملPreventing False Inferences
I I n t r o d u c t i o n In cooperative man-machine interaction, it is taken as necessary that a system truthfully and informatively respond to a user's question. It is not, however, sufficient. In particular, if the system has reason to believe that its planned response nfight lead the user to draw an inference that it knows to be false, then it must block it by nmdifying or adding to its res...
متن کاملComparing personal trajectories and drawing causal inferences from longitudinal data.
This review considers statistical analysis of data from studies that obtain repeated measures on each of many participants. Such studies aim to describe the average change in populations and to illuminate individual differences in trajectories of change. A person-specific model for the trajectory of each participant is viewed as the foundation of any analysis having these aims. A second, betwee...
متن کاملDrawing Inferences from Statistics Based on Multiyear Asset Returns*
Researchers investigating the possibility of mean reversion in stock prices with statistics based on multiyear returns have noted difficulties in drawing inferences from these statistics because the approximating asymptotic distributions perform poorly. We develop an alternative asymptotic distribution theory for statistics involving multiyear returns. These distributions diPier markedly from t...
