In a homogeneous jury, in which each vote is correct with the same probability, and each pair of votes correlates with the
same correlation coefficient, there exists a correlation-robust voting quota, such that the probability of a correct verdict
is independent of the correlation coefficient. For positive correlation, an increase in the correlation coefficient decreases
the probability of a correct verdict for any voting rule below the correlation-robust quota, and increases that probability
for any above the correlation-robust quota. The jury may be less competent under the correlation-robust rule than under simple
majority rule and less competent under simple majority rule than a single juror alone. The jury is always less competent than
a single juror under unanimity rule. 相似文献

In a homogeneous jury, the votes are exchangeable correlated Bernoulli random variables. We derive the bounds on a homogeneous
jury’s competence as the minimum and maximum probability of the jury being correct, which arise due to unknown correlations
among the votes. The lower bound delineates the downside risk associated with entrusting decisions to the jury. In large and
not-too-competent juries the lower bound may fall below the success probability of a fair coin flip—one half, while the upper
bound may not reach a certainty. We also derive the bounds on the voting power of an individual juror as the minimum and maximum
probability of her/his casting a decisive vote. The maximum is less than one, while the minimum of zero can be attained for
infinitely many combinations of distribution moments. 相似文献

This paper proves two theorems for homogeneous juries that arise from different solutions to the problem of aggregation of
dichotomous choice. In the first theorem, negative correlation increases the competence of the jury, while positive correlation
has the opposite effect. An enlargement of the jury with positive correlation can be detrimental up to a certain size, beyond
which it becomes beneficial. The second theorem finds a family of distributions for which correlation has no effect on a jury’s
competence. The approach allows us to compute the bounds on a jury’s competence as the maximum and minimum probability of
it being correct for a given individual competence and dependence structure. 相似文献

Objective: To examine the association between accidental, violent and alcohol related adult mortality in the Russian capital and socio-economic status characteristics such as educational status, occupational group and marital status.Data and methods: individual death records for Moscow City for the years 1994 and 1995, for 86121 deaths between the ages of 20–59. Proportional mortality analysis was used to compare trends for alcohol related deaths and accidental and violent deaths (representing 5 and 28% of all deaths in this age group), with multiple controls consisting of deaths from cancer at various sites.Results: The probability of death from alcohol related diseases increased as education level decreased, with those men failing to complete secondary education over two and a half times as likely to die from these causes than men with higher education. Blue collar workers were also much more likely to die from these causes than white collar workers. Marriage had a marked protective effect for both men and women.Conclusion: Despite 75 years of official egalitarian ideology, there are marked socio-economic differentials in mortality in Russia. For the causes of death analysed, socio-economic mortality differentials were greater for women than for men. 相似文献

Ukraine experienced two very acute demographic crises during the Soviet era: the 1933 famine and the Second World War. While different estimates of total losses have been produced previously, we have tried here to distinguish the specific impact of the crises on mortality from their impact on fertility and migration. Taking into account all existing sources of registered data and estimates, a painstaking reconstruction of annual demographic changes has been produced and complete annual life tables have been computed for the years 1926-59. Life expectancy at birth fell to a level as low as 10 years for females and 7 for males in 1933 and plateaued around 25 for females and 15 for males in the period 1941-44. 相似文献

This paper discusses a numerical scheme for computing the Banzhaf swing probability when votes are neither equiprobable nor
independent. Examples indicate a substantial bias in the Banzhaf measure of voting power if neither assumption is met. The
analytical part derives the exact magnitude of the bias due to the common probability of an affirmative vote deviating from
one half and due to common correlation in unweighted simple-majority games. The former bias is polynomial, the latter is linear.
A modified square-root rule for two-tier voting systems that takes into account both the homogeneity and the size of constituencies
is also provided. 相似文献

Historical life tables for developed countries are analysed in order to present the epidemiological transition in terms of Brass's logit system. The results of this analysis are used to determine the range of the two Brass model parameters consistent with historical life tables. This range also includes human life tables that could have been observed in pre-transitional stages or could occur in the future. 相似文献
