Choosing experiments to accelerate collective discovery.
A scientist's choice of research problem affects his or her personal career trajectory. Scientists' combined choices affect the direction and efficiency of scientific discovery as a whole. In this paper, we infer preferences that shape problem selection from patterns of published findings and then quantify their efficiency. We represent research problems as links between scientific entities in ...
متن کاملA decision theoretic approach to Imputation in finite population sampling
SUMMARY Consider the situation where observations are missing at random from a simple random sample drawn from a finite population. In certain cases it is of interest to create a full set of sample values such that inferences based on the full set will have the stated frequentist properties even though the statistician making those inferences is unaware that some of the observations were missin...
متن کاملThe bootstrap and finite population sampling.
Synthetic populations are used to study methods for adapting Efron’s bootstrap estimation technique to finite population sampling. Of particular interest is the extention of these methods to two-stage cluster sampling. Using simulations based on five artificial populations, two variations of bootstrap estimators and two Taylor series variance estimators for a ratio estimator are compared by mea...
متن کاملDesign Based Estimation of Finite Population Mean in Ranked Set Sampling
Abstract. This Article introduce method of ranked set sampling with replacement (RSSWR) in finite population and express how to computing samples of inclusion probability for this method. The Horvitz-Thompson and Hansen-Hurwtz estimators using auxiliary variables introduce for this design and use 2011-12 Urban Households Income and Income and Expenditure survey data, gathered for Tehran by stat...
متن کاملUsing Prior Information about Population Quantiles in Finite Population Sampling
Many classical methods in finite population sampling have been developed to incorporate some fairly standard types of prior information about the population. When the prior information does not fall in the standard categories it can be difficult to find procedures which reflect the information and have good frequentist properties. Recently methods based on the empirical likelihood were consider...
