Rounding Probabilistic Expectations in Surveys.
Rounding is the familiar practice of reporting one value whenever a real number lies in an interval. Uncertainty about the extent of rounding is common when researchers analyze survey responses to numerical questions. The prevalent practice has been to take numerical responses at face value, even though many may in fact be rounded. This paper studies the rounding of responses to survey question...
متن کاملBounded Expectations: Resource Analysis for Probabilistic Programs
Following the increasing relevance of probabilistic programming, there is a renewed interest in addressing the challenges that probabilistic code bears for static reasoning. For example, there are successful techniques for automatic worst-case resource analysis but these techniques are not applicable to many probabilistic programs, which, for instance, only terminate almost surely. This paper p...

Generalising Boolean valued predicates to expectations functions from the state space into allows the de nition of probabilistic temporal operators that treat explicit probabilities as well as demonic nondeterminism and divergence The conventional operational interpretation of the temporal operators does not generalise so easily although one may speak of satisfying a predi cate in the standard ...

متن کاملAnemia in Mexican women: results of two national probabilistic surveys.
OBJECTIVE To describe the prevalence of anemia in Mexican women and analyze its trends with information from the last two national nutrition surveys. MATERIAL AND METHODS The prevalence of anemia in women was analyzed. Anemia was adjusted by socioeconomic profile and by potentially explanatory variables. RESULTS The overall prevalence of anemia for pregnant women was 20.2% (95% CI 15.9, 26....
