Is "isolated home" hypertension as opposed to "isolated office" hypertension a sign of greater cardiovascular risk?
BACKGROUND The SHEAF (Self-Measurement of Blood Pressure at Home in the Elderly: Assessment and Follow-up) study is an observational study (from February 1998 to early 2002) designed to determine whether home blood pressure (BP) measurement has a greater cardiovascular prognostic value than office BP measurement among elderly (> or =60 years) French patients with hypertension. The objective of ...
متن کاملProbabilistic Voting in the Spatial Model of Elections: The Theory of Office-motivated Candidates
We unify and extend much of the literature on probabilistic voting in two-candidate elections. We give existence results for mixed and pure strategy equilibria of the electoral game. We prove general results on optimality of pure strategy equilibria vis-a-vis a weighted utilitarian social welfare function, and we derive the well-known “mean voter” result as a special case. We establish broad co...
متن کاملBayesian Inference on Proportional Elections
Polls for majoritarian voting systems usually show estimates of the percentage of votes for each candidate. However, proportional vote systems do not necessarily guarantee the candidate with the most percentage of votes will be elected. Thus, traditional methods used in majoritarian elections cannot be applied on proportional elections. In this context, the purpose of this paper was to perform ...
متن کاملOn elections with robust winners
We study the sensitivity of election outcomes to small changes in voters’ preferences. We assume that a voter may err by swapping two adjacent candidates in his vote; we would like to check whether the election outcome would remain the same given up to δ errors. We show that this problem can be viewed as the destructive version of the unit-cost swap bribery problem, and demonstrate that it is p...
متن کاملMultimode Control Attacks on Elections
In 1992, Bartholdi, Tovey, and Trick opened the study of control attacks on elections— attempts to improve the election outcome by such actions as adding/deleting candidates or voters. That work has led to many results on how algorithms can be used to find attacks on elections and how complexity-theoretic hardness results can be used as shields against attacks. However, all the work in this lin...
