The precedence effect

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1999
In a reverberant environment, sounds reach the ears through several paths. Although the direct sound is followed by multiple reflections, which would be audible in isolation, the first-arriving wavefront dominates many aspects of perception. The “precedence effect” refers to a group of phenomena that are thought to be involved in resolving competition ...

Rule of Precedent and Rules on Precedent

The general assessment of the problem of the use of previous decisions in international adjudication usually starts from the many statements to the effect that ‘there is no rule of precedent in international law’.

Canonical Precedence Schemes

Journal of the ACM, 1973
A general theory of canonical precedence analysis is defined and studied. The familiar types of precedence analysis such as operator precedence or simple precedence occur as special cases of this theory. Among the theoretical results obtained are a characterization of the structure of precedence relations and the relation of canonical precedence ...

Reasons and precedent

Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Law, 2011
This paper describes a precise reason model of precedent, based on the general idea that a later court is constrained to reach a decision that is consistent with an earlier court's assessment of the balance of reasons. The account draws on recent work in legal theory as well as concepts developed within the field of artificial intelligence and law.

The precedence effect

Hearing Research, 1983
When two similar transient sounds are presented binaurally in rapid succession, observers hear a single sound from a location which depends mainly on the properties of the first sound to reach the ears. This phenomenon, known as the precedence effect, was explored using stimuli consisting of 20 mus pulses presented using earphones; experiments were ...

Precedence Test and Maximal Precedence Test

2000
In this paper, we first describe the precedence test for testing the hypothesis that two distribution functions are equal. We examine the power properties of this precedence test under a location shift between the two populations using Monte Carlo simulations, and compare them with those of Wilcoxon’s rank sum test. After noting that a ‘masking effect’
