Philosophy & Social Criticism, 2019
This essay presents a novel approach to specifying the meaning of the concept of populism, on the political position it occupies and on the nature of populism. Employing analytic techniques of concept clarification and recent analytic ideology critique, it develops populism as a political kind in three steps.

Comparing population mean curves

2001
Abstract One approach to the a posteriori classification of problem/algorithm combinations in the context of evolutionary algorithms (EAs), is to record and analyse a number of summary statistics of the evolution of the population. This paper discusses a necessary normalization of the population mean curve, i.e., the curve of the average fitness of ...

Mean life in steady-state populations

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 1968
Abstract The mean life of the elements comprising a steady state population is one of the three variables that uniquely specify that population, for mean life is equal to the ratio of population size to turnover rate and can always, in principle, be measured independently. Mean life measures the turnover frequency of elements during the steady state,

Maximal Deviation between Sample and Population Means in Finite Populations

Journal of the American Statistical Association, 1981
Abstract Bounds are presented for the maximal deviation in finite populations between sample and population means in units of (a) the population mean deviation, (b) the population range, and (c) the population mean, extending previous results for the population standard deviation.

Inference for a Population Mean II

1998
You have studied in a preliminary fashion the application of confidence intervals and significance tests to measurement variables for which the population mean is the parameter of interest. You will apply these procedures to a variety of genuine applications in this topic.

THE MEANING OF ‘FITNESS‘ IN HUMAN POPULATIONS

Annals of Eugenics, 1947
The articles published by the Annals of Eugenics (1925–1954) have been made available online as an historical archive intended for scholarly use. The work of eugenicists was often pervaded by prejudice against racial, ethnic and disabled groups. The online publication of this material for scholarly research purposes is not an endorsement of those views

Confidence and Population Means

1996
The major difficulty in putting the properties of the special batch discussed in Chapter 8 to use is that we had to know a good deal about the population from which the sample was drawn in order to specify the characteristics of the special batch.

What do epidemiologists mean by ‘population mixing’?

Pediatric Blood & Cancer, 2008
AbstractThere is growing evidence that some chronic diseases are caused, or promoted, by infectious disease. ‘Population mixing’ has been used as a proxy for the range and dose of infectious agents circulating in a community. Given the speculation over the role of population mixing in many chronic diseases, we review the various methods used for ...

Sample vs. Population Mean-Variance Efficient Portfolios

Management Science, 1980
It is common to use historical data in calculating the rates of return of risky options, and these data are used to calculate the mean and the variance, which are employed in the (MV) preference ranking. In this paper we study the effect of possible sampling error on the portfolio ranking.
