Abstract: | In selection processes of a random variable with random observation errors, the crucial variable is the conditional expectation
of the target variable given the sum of the observations. An example is the selection of the most talented young researchers
for tenure track. This paper derives an explicit expression for this conditional expectation for the case that both the target
variable and the observation errors have a uniform, but different, distribution. |
