The General Social Survey Program has been gathering data for some time now in a series of independent annual household surveys. A rich collection of data now exists for social science and other researchers. One interesting potential tool is the integration of data across two or more cycles. This means using the data from two or more cycles to estimate quantities of interest. There are two ways...

B. L. Clarke, following a proposal of A. N. Whitehead, presents an axiomatized calculus of individuals based on a primitive predicate "x is connected with y". In this article we show that a proper subset of Clarke's system of axioms characterizes the complete orthocomplemented lattices, while the whole of Clarke's system characterizes the complete atomless Boolean algebras. / Introduction In [2...

Foreknowledge in research participants can undermine the validity of psychological research. Three studies examined a potentially major source of foreknowledge: participant crosstalk in an undergraduate subject pool. Participants in all three studies attempted to win extra experimental credit by guessing the number of beans in a jar-a nearly impossible task without foreknowledge of the answer. ...

In lowest unique bid auctions, N players bid for an item. The winner is whoever places the lowest bid, provided that it is also unique. We derive an analytical expression for the equilibrium distribution of the game as a function of N and study its properties, which are then compared with a large dataset of internet auctions. The empirical collective strategy reproduces the theoretical equilibr...

This memo examines some of the issues associated with the current management practices of the Internet IPv4 address space, and examines the potential outcomes of these practices as the unallocated address pool shrinks in size. Possible modifications to the management practices are examined, and potential outcomes considered. Some general conclusions are drawn, and the relevance of these conclus...

Blood pressure was measured in 730 infants and their mothers within 5 days of birth. Paternal blood pressures were obtained where possible, and follow-up measurements were made on participants at 1 week and 1, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months. Infant blood pressures were adjusted for such variables as age, observer, cuff size, and sleep/activity status. Infant blood pressure correlated with maternal bl...

We study a model of communication and Bayesian persuasion between a sender who is privately informed and has state independent preferences, and a receiver who has preferences that depend on the unknown state. In a model with two states of the world, over the interesting range of parameters, the equilibria can be pooling or separating, but a particular novel refinement forces the pooling to be o...

The market distribution function is a probabilistic device that can be used to model the randomness in dispatch and clearing price that generators in electricity pool markets must take account of when submitting offers. We discuss techniques for estimating the market distribution function, and ways of measuring the quality of these estimators, using both classical statistical approaches and an ...
