Binomial Sampling and the Binomial Distribution
This is a good place to point out that these are only (approximating) , and not full truth. models Truth is not a model. A model, by definition, is an approximation (and not truth). In fact, out of a few million coin flips, one or more coins will remain standing on edge – that is truth. The binomial model does not allow such reality. The idea is more easily understood for the outcomes “dead" or...
متن کاملExact Computation of Minimum Sample Size for Estimation of Binomial Parameters ∗
It is a common contention that it is an “impossible mission” to exactly determine the minimum sample size for the estimation of a binomial parameter with prescribed margin of error and confidence level. In this paper, we investigate such a very old but also extremely important problem and demonstrate that the difficulty for obtaining the exact solution is not insurmountable. Unlike the classica...
متن کاملRepeated judgment sampling: Boundaries
This paper investigates the boundaries of the recent result that eliciting more than one estimate from the same person and averaging these can lead to accuracy gains in judgment tasks. It first examines its generality, analysing whether the kind of question being asked has an effect on the size of potential gains. Experimental results show that the question type matters. Previous results report...
متن کاملOn the Mean Absolute Error in Inverse Binomial Sampling
A closed-form expression and an upper bound are obtained for the mean absolute error of the unbiased estimator of a probability in inverse binomial sampling. The results given permit the estimation of an arbitrary probability with a prescribed level of the normalized mean absolute error.
متن کاملExact sample size determination for binomial experiments
In experiments designed to estimate a binomial parameter, sample sizes are often calculated to ensure that the point estimate will be within a desired distance from the true value with sufficiently high probability. Since exact calculations resulting from the standard formulation of this problem can be difficult, "conservative" and/or normal approximations are frequently used. In this paper, so...
