Abstract Simple random-sampling resolutions of the raven paradox relevantly diverge from scientific practice. We develop a stratified model, yielding better fit and apparently rehabilitating simple random sampling as legitimate idealization. However, neither accommodates second concern, objection potential bias. third model that crucially invokes causal considerations, novel resolution handles ...

traditional survey methods may cause refusals to respond or untruthful replies when encounter the sensitive questions. the randomized response technique (rrt) is designed to decrease social desirability bias and obtain reliable estimates. this study aimed to apply these new methods on the sensitive questions survey.simmons model was applied in the survey of issues relevant to commercial sex amo...

the purpose of this study was to compare symptoms of ptsd among war affected people and employees in the fire station. totally, 60 people affected by war and 60 fire workers were selected using simple random sampling. by completing pcl inventory, samples of ptsd were characterized. data was analysed through spss software by independent t-test. as the results showed, severity of ptsd symptoms am...

Quantum random sampling is the leading proposal for demonstrating a computational advantage of quantum computers over classical computers. Recently, first large-scale implementations have arguably surpassed boundary what can be simulated on existing hardware. In this article, we comprehensively review theoretical underpinning in terms complexity and verifiability, as well practical aspects its ...
