Responding to my posting below: I concluded that one would expect the division to be *closer* to 1/2 each than for the clearly marked ballots. If you mix a certain number of valid ballots with 1/3 - 2/3 proportions with another group of invalid ballots, in which votes have been

I think what Radford Neal is saying is that *some* dimpled ballots were dimpled by a process other than an attempt to vote, and these will divide 50-50. This should be easily determined by comparing the number of dimples at null locations on the card with the number that are

Variance of Mode?

Hello, Would you answer the following two questions, 1) I know the variance of mean and median. What is the variance of mode? 2) Under what condition we can say mode is a better estimate of population average than mean or median. For example, when the distribution of a variable is Gamma, then

problem here is that there is NO agreed to operational definition of the mode ... and if that is the case, difficult to find a variance around it(them) At 10:06 PM 12/4/00 -0600, Alireza Tahai wrote: Hello, Would you answer the following two questions, 1) I know the variance of mean and

I agree with Dennis Roberts. Te mean, the variance, the median, the mode are quantities which are computed theoretically for a distribution. Then , we have the sample mean, sample variance, sample median which are random variables computed from samples. Like any random variables the sample mean
