Compositional Quantitative Reasoning [PDF]
Third International Conference on the Quantitative Evaluation of Systems - (QEST'06), 2006 We present a compositional theory of system verification, where specifications assign real-numbered costs to systems. These costs can express a wide variety of quantitative system properties, such as resource consumption, price, or a measure of how well a system satisfies its specification.

Comparative Analysis of 16S rRNA Gene and Metagenome Sequencing in Pediatric Gut Microbiomes
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 The colonization of the human gut microbiome begins at birth, and over time, these microbial communities become increasingly complex. Most of what we currently know about the human microbiome, especially in early stages of development, was described ...

Surveying the Landscape of Numbers in U.S. News
Numeracy, 2021 The news arguably serves to inform the quantitative reasoning (QR) of news audiences. Before one can contemplate how well the news serves this function, we first need to determine how much QR typical news stories require from readers. This paper assesses

Quantitative Algebraic Reasoning [PDF]
Proceedings of the 31st Annual ACM/IEEE Symposium on Logic in Computer Science, 2016 We develop a quantitative analogue of equational reasoning which we call quantitative algebra. We define an equality relation indexed by rationals: a = ϵ b which we think of as saying that "a is approximately equal to b up to an error of ϵ ". We have 4 interesting examples where we have a quantitative equational theory whose free algebras correspond to
