Phragmén's sequential method with a variance criterion
نویسنده
چکیده
1. We’ll follow the notation of [3]. Assume that n seats have already been assigned, and that each elector of type k is represented in the amount rk. We consider allocating a new seat to candidate (or party) i and distributing it between the electors that approved i. Let xk be the amount of this new seat that is given to each elector of type k (we are omitting the reference to i). The xk are subject to the following constraints:

Phragmén's Voting Methods and Justified Representation
In the late 19th century, Lars Edvard Phragmén proposed a load-balancing approach for selecting committees based on approval ballots. We consider three committee voting rules resulting from this approach: two optimization variants—one minimizing the maximal load and one minimizing the variance of loads—and a sequential variant. We study Phragmén’s methods from an axiomatic point of view, focuss...
متن کاملVariance Reduction for Monte Carlo Implementation of Adaptive Sensor Management
Adaptive sensor management (scheduling) is usually formulated as a finite horizon POMDP and implemented using sequential Monte Carlo. In Monte Carlo, variance reduction is important for the reliable performance of the sensor scheduler. In this paper, we propose a Control Variate method for variance reduction when the sensor is scheduled using the Kullbach Leibler criterion.
متن کاملSequential maximum mutual information linear discriminant analysis for speech recognition
Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) is a simple and effective feature transformation technique that aims to improve discriminability by maximizing the ratio of the between-class variance to the within-class variance. However, LDA does not explicitly consider the sequential discriminative criterion which consists in directly reducing the errors of a speech recognizer. This paper proposes a simple...
متن کاملEstimation following a Group Sequential Test for Distributions in the One-parameter Exponential Family
We consider unbiased estimation following a group sequential test for distributions in a one-parameter exponential family. We show that, for an estimable parameter function, there exists uniquely an unbiased estimator depending on the sufficient statistic and based on the truncation-adaptation criterion (Liu and Hall (1999)); moreover, this estimator is identical to one based on the Rao-Blackwe...
متن کاملA convergence criterion for the Monte Carlo estimates
In this article, a convergence criterion for the Monte Carlo estimates, which can be used as a stopping rule for the Monte Carlo experiments, will be proposed. The proposed criterion seeks a convergence band of a given width and length such that the probability of the Monte Carlo sample means to fall outside of this band is practically null. Although it has some sort of self defined confidence,...
