Problems in the estimation and interpretation of the reliability of survey data
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1989-09)
In this paper I discuss several of the difficulties involved in estimating the reliability of survey measurement. Reliability is defined on the basis of classical true-score theory , as the correlational consistency of ...
Confidence intervals with fixed proportional accuracy
(Elsevier, 1986-1987)
The problem of setting a confidence interval with fixed proportional accuracy for the mean of a normal distribution is considered. A sequential procedure is proposed; and asymptotic expansions for its average coverage ...
Differences of Opinion and the Volume of Trade
(1985-03-19)
The standard models of financial markets assume that agents have identical probability beliefs but different utiity functions. The volume of trade in such models is therefore due to these taste differences. In this paper ...
Muscarine-sensitive voltage-dependent potassium current in cultured murine spinal cord neurons
(Elsevier, 1983-01-31)
Muscarine produced membrane depolarization and decreased membrane conductance of mouse spinal cord neurons in dissociated cell culture. When the neurons were voltage clamped, muscarine evoked inward currents which increased ...
Singh's theorem in the lattice case
(Elsevier, 1988-12)
The asymptotic behavior of the parametric bootstrap estimator of the sampling distribution of a maximum likelihood estimator is investigated in a simple lattice case, integer valued random variables whose distributions ...

Scarcity and survival: The role of oral tradition in mediating subsistence crises
(Elsevier, 1986-03)
Survival of periodic subsistence crises is largely dependent on a group memory of past crisis situations and of the strategies appropriate for dealing with the altered environmental conditions. One mechanism utilized by ...
