Every survey contains some form of error. Even a complete census of all known members of a population is subject to random error or potential measurement error. There are two major forms of sampling error that might be encountered in a survey that includes random error and systematic error. This...
A new class of random composition structures (the ordered analog of Kingman's partition structures) is defined by a regenerative description of component sizes. Each regenerative composition structure is represented by a process of random sampling of points from an exponential distribution on the positive half-line, and separating the points into...
Monetary-unit sampling MUS is a method of statistical sampling used to assess the amount of monetary misstatement that may exist in an account balance. The method, also known as dollar-unit sampling or probability-proportional-to-size sampling, has been used for many years and is widely accepted among auditors.
There's death. There are taxes. And, apparently, there are cable complaints. A random sampling of the hundreds of complaints filed with the Federal Communications Commission over the past year seems to suggest that the cable industry still ha ...
Statistical sampling is playing an increasingly important role in identifying deductions and credits for federal income tax purposes. The Internal Revenue Service has been responsive to questions about the appropriateness of and requirements for the use of statistical sampling in tax determinations. The creation of territory sampling coordinator positions and...
The author describes the use of sampling in a financial setting and focuses, as an illustration, on some of the methods used by the FDIC to value assets in liquidation. By using sampling, as opposed to valuing each asset, significant cost savings are achieved while ensuring the accuracy and...
In this paper they propose two ways to deal with the imbalanced data classification problem using random forest. One is based on cost sensitive learning, and the other is based on a sampling technique. Performance metrics such as precision and recall, false positive rate and false negative rate, F-measure and...

Historically, only a small percentage of family businesses survive the transition from founder to successor generations. The present article tests the hypothesis that business performance following succession is in part attributable to the successor's current and future conceptual capacity at the time of the succession. Using a procedure derived from...
In recent years, the number of sampling methods and programs available to brand managers have increased dramatically, and at the same time have become more sophisticated in their approach to sample delivery. Many of the new programs being introduced use modern marketing information systems to identify prime consumer groups and...
Multivariate statistical analysis is utilized to explore the association between firm strategies, contributions made by venture capitalists and incentives for owners and employees and three exporting variables in a stratified random sample of 147 management buyouts and buy-ins. Firms focusing upon a diversified product/ service range and/or advertising were significantly...
Derivative security pricing relies increasingly on lattice representations of stochastic processes. When the lattice is of high dimension, exhaustive enumeration becomes conceptually costly. Instead, Monte Carlo simulation is used to estimate lattice value by sampling appropriately from the nodes. Naïve sampling can lead to substantial error in estimation because the...
The article says that one can design an acceptance-sampling plan to signal when to undertake a total physical inventory count. Compared to taking a total inventory count at a fixed period annually, sampling can provide you with more accurate record counts, cause less disruption of operations, and lower costs. The sampling...
Do initial public offerings IPOs of high-tech companies live up to their hoopla? Would Alan Greenspan approve? Actually, so far so good. A random sampling of four recent IPOs seems to demonstrate that some investors didn't exactly to lose their shirts by taking a chance.
LONDON, October 12 /PRNewswire/ -- The Random House Group and Random House Inc are delighted to announce that Richard Cable and Oliver Johnson on behalf of The Random House Group in the UK and Stephen Rubin and Charlie Conrad on behalf of Doubled...
Results of randomized clinical trials are the preferred "Evidence" for establishing the benefits and safety of medical treatments. This paper presents evidence suggesting that the conventional approach to reporting clinical trials has fundamental flaws that can result in overlooking identifiable subgroups harmed by a treatment while underestimating benefits to others....
