Measuring Constituency Ideology in U.S. House Districts: A Top-Down Simulation Approach
One of the most intractable problems associated with studying representation in the U.S. House of Representatives involves the measurement of district-level constituency opinion. In measuring constituency opinion in House districts, scholars have relied on a number of alternative approaches, including the use of demographic variables, small-sample estimates of public opinion, presidential elect...
متن کاملPartisanship and Constituency Influences on Congressional Roll-Call Voting Behavior in the US House
This research examines the factors that influence how members of the US House of Representatives vote. Party affiliation of the legislator and constituency interests will be the two main independent variables. The district's constituency characteristics are represented by constituency ideology ('96 Presidential vote for Clinton), percent non-white, region, and the median household education. Th...
متن کاملA mathematical top → down approach Marcus Hutter
Sequential decision theory formally solves the problem of rational agents in uncertain worlds if the true environmental prior probability distribution is known. Solomonoff’s theory of universal induction formally solves the problem of sequence prediction for unknown prior distribution. We combine both ideas and get a parameter-free theory of universal Artificial Intelligence. We give strong arg...
متن کاملPopulating the Landscape: A Top Down Approach
We put forward a framework for cosmology that combines the string landscape with no boundary initial conditions. In this framework, amplitudes for alternative histories for the universe are calculated with final boundary conditions only. This leads to a top down approach to cosmology, in which the histories of the universe depend on the precise question asked. We study the observational consequ...
متن کاملA Top-down Approach to Combining Logics
The mechanization and automation of combination of logics, expressive ontologies and notions of context are prominent current challenge problems. I propose to approach these challenge topics from the perspective of classical higher-order logic. From this perspective these topics are closely related and a common, uniform solution appears in reach.
