... the territory, the model is not the phenomenon, and calling something ‘probability’ does not make it so. Finally, probability can enter a scientific problem as metaphor: a claim that the phenomenon in question behaves ‘as if’ it is random. What ‘as if’ means is rarely made precise, but this approach ...

POTENTIAL BENEFITS FROM THE USE OF SCANNER DATA IN
... Scanner data will produce larger samples and this alone will reduce sample variance. Currently, some BLS samples sizes are as small as four quotes. The use of scanner data could easily increase these sample sizes to more than 500 quotes. Additional reductions in the mean squared error can be achieve ...

... 1. When there is little variability across cases in the scores within our one sample (i.e., when there is a small standard deviation). 2. When the sample size is large. If you generate your sample using an appropriate method, you don’t have control over the amount of variability in your sample. You ...
