Fundamental Flaws in Feller’s Classical Derivation of Benford’s Law
Feller’s classic text An Introduction to Probability Theory and its Applications contains a derivation of the well known significant-digit law called Benford’s law. More specifically, Feller gives a sufficient condition (“large spread”) for a random variable X to be approxi mately Benford distributed, that is, for log 10 X to be approximately uniformly distributed modulo one. This note shows t...
متن کاملSome Fundamental Flaws in the Design of Sexual Harassment Policies
This paper suggests that the current social issue/problem concerning sexual harassment is exacerbated by some theoretical problems found in sexual harassment policies. There are a number of ethical considerations that need to be considered but in particular the distinction between the social and the individual is problematic in the liberal tradition. Practical problems in the application of pol...
متن کاملFundamental Flaws of Social Regulation: the Case of Airplane Noise*
This article provides an economic assessment of federal regulatory policy toward airplane noise as encapsulated in the 1990 Airport Noise and Capacity Act (ANCA). This act mandated the elimination of certain aircraft, such as the Boeing 727 and DC-9, from all U.S. airports by the end of 1999 to meet quieter noise requirements. We find that the present discounted benefits of the ANCA, reflected ...
متن کاملFundamental Flaws of Hormesis for Public Health Decisions
Hormesis (defined operationally as low-dose stimulation, high-dose inhibition) is often used to promote the notion that while high-level exposures to toxic chemicals could be detrimental to human health, low-level exposures would be beneficial. Some proponents claim hormesis is an adaptive, generalizable phenomenon and argue that the default assumption for risk assessments should be that toxic ...
متن کاملOn The Fundamental Flaws of Qubit Concept for General- Purpose Quantum Computing
For general-purpose quantum computing, the addition rules must be imposed and implemented first. An examination of this condition shows that the use of qubits is fundamentally flawed. The reasons are elaborated here. When two qubits are used for an addition operation of two bits, it is not the four states in superposition that are relevant for the addition. Rather it is the four symbolic substi...
