Guessing with Distributed Encoders [PDF]
Entropy, 2019 Two correlated sources emit a pair of sequences, each of which is observed by a different encoder. Each encoder produces a rate-limited description of the sequence it observes, and the two descriptions are presented to a guessing device that repeatedly ...

Successful Discrimination of Tiny Numerical Differences
Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2023 Are there some differences so small that we cannot detect them? Are some quantities so similar (e.g., the number of spots on two speckled hens) that they simply look the same to us?

The Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, 2001 Suppose we are given some fixed (but unknown) subset $X$ of a set $\Omega$, and our object is to learn as much as possible about the elements of $X$ by asking binary questions. Specifically, each question is just a function $F: \Omega \rightarrow \{0,1\}$, and the answer to $F$ is just the value $F(X_i)$ for some $X_i \in X$, (determined, for example ...

The American Mathematical Monthly, 2014 In a guessing game, players guess the value of a random real number selected using some probability density function. The winner may be determined in various ways; for example, a winner can be a player whose guess is closest in magnitude to the target or a winner can be a player coming closest without guessing higher than the target.

Contrasting multistage and computer-based testing: score accuracy and aberrant responding
Frontiers in Psychology, 2023 The goal of the present study was to compare and contrast the efficacy of a multistage testing (MST) design using three paths compared to a traditional computer-based testing (CBT) approach involving items across all ability levels. Participants were n =
