摘要:
SUMMARYSince local authorities have a particular need for accurate population information for small areas, they have developed various methods for obtaining up‐to‐date population data. The paper examines in some detail one technique, the enhancement of electoral registers, drawing up on the experience of Strathclyde Regional Council. Conclusions are drawn regarding the effectiveness of this technique and its potential for further development in the United Kingdom.

摘要:
SUMMARYExact attained significance level and sample size methods are developed for use with the unconditionalZstatistic in the 2 times 2 contingency table from two independent binomial samples of equal size. The resulting sample sizes tend to be smaller than those required by tables for the exact conditional test. Moreover, the proposed exactZtest is uniformly more powerful than the exact conditional test for α = 0.01, 0.025 and 0.05, and common sample sizen =10(1)150, the only combinations of α andnconsidered herein. These methods therefore provide an exact approach to unconditional tests which, in contrast to the conditional ones, are easily explained to and under‐stood by non‐statisticians. This paper is the first for which sample size calculations are made based on exact unconditional tests for any situation in which no ancillary statistic exists for the nuisance parameter.

摘要:
SUMMARYThis paper considers the problem of quantifying literary style and looks at several variables which may be used as stylistic “fingerprints” of a writer. Statistics plays an important role in the sampling of texts, the building and fitting of models to linguistic data and in the testing of hypotheses, particularly in problems concerned with authorship attribution. The increasing availability of computer concordances of literary texts offers great possibilities to the analyst.

摘要:
SUMMARYA model is presented which accounts for some of the empirical patterns of betting losses on horses: the punter discounts a constant fraction 1 –fof his losing bets, so that he believes his chances of losing arefq, whereqis the true chance of losing. When compared with data from past flat racing seasons, the model is able to describe two important features: the average return from bets at given Starting PriceXand the average over‐round in races withnrunners.

摘要:
SUMMARYThis note comments on a number of problems that arise in the analysis of Department of Employment Data on strikes. The problems arise from the way in which selection of data and the construction of histograms affect the interpretation of results from heavy tailed distributions. A method based on life‐testing models is proposed for the analysis of trends in the data. The need for a standard way of presenting computational based results is pointed out.
