Average accuracy of jury verdicts for a set of cases can be studied empirically and systematically even when the correct verdict cannot be known. The key is to obtain a second rating of the verdict, for example, the judge’s, as in the recent study of criminal cases in the United States by the National Center for State Courts (NCSC). That study, like the famous Kalven-Zeisel study, showed only m...

is the DFT of the zero-padded wavelet filter. Similarly let {G(k)} denote the DFT of the zero-padded scaling filter. Further, suppose we attach to each pair (j, n) in the wavelet packet tree a sequence of ones and zeros according to the following rule. Let {c1,0} = {0} and {c1,1} = {1} and let {cj,n} = {cj,n,0, . . . , cj,n,j−1} where cj,n,k ∈ {0, 1} for k = 0, . . . , j − 1. Define, for n = 0,...

When the Scottish Parliament was established intention of founders to make it a more innovative, participatory, and deliberative legislature than UK had experienced before. Research suggests that attempts achieve these aspirations were short-lived. Recently, Commission on Parliamentary Reform (2017) add fresh impetus this mission. Its recommendations included running inhouse mini-publics suppor...

Let {cj} be a null sequence of bounded variation. We give appreciate smoothness and growth conditions on {cj} to obtain the pointwise convergence as well as Lr -convergence of Laguerre series ∑ cj a j . Then, we prove aHardy-Littlewood type inequality ∫∞ 0 |f(t)|r dt≤ C ∑∞ j=0 |cj| j̄1−r/2 for certain r ≤ 1, where f is the limit function of ∑ cj a j . Moreover, we show that if f(x) ∼ ∑cj a j is ...

It is known that, in Condorcet's classical jury model, the proportion of jurors supporting a decision is not a significant indicator of that decision's reliability: the probability that a particular majority decision is correct given the majority size depends only on the absolute margin between the majority and the minority, and is invariant under changes of the proportion in the majority if th...
