Baseball's pistol on the wall is "the list" — the names of players who tested positive in what was supposed to be an anonymous, no-consequences survey.
In the conclusions, we will provide an answer to which extent harmonised sampling strategies are feasible and the consequences for survey research.
It is early to measure the recession's consequences, but surveys suggest a growing impact.
As a consequence, target survey quantities such as population totals and means are also random variables.
As a consequence, the survey findings presented here should not be generalized beyond the 286 individuals who completed the survey.
As a consequence, our survey distinguishes 292 microRNA families (plus two sequences which could not be mapped to their respective genomes), while our starting point, the MR 6.0, contains 341 different family names for animal microRNAs.
The PAF does not include residents' names, and as a consequence postal surveys cannot be personally addressed to households sampled from the PAF.
Further, the complexity of the legislation makes it difficult for individuals to predict its economic consequences (the Pew survey reported that only 25 percent of poll respondents said they had a very good understanding of how the law would affect them).
"After several years of weak growth, the crisis is having severe social consequences," the growth survey warned, noting that European welfare systems had "cushioned some of the effects at first but the impact is now being felt across the board".
Section 3 applies a standard Fisher Information measure of information content to Likert scales, and explores the consequences of particular survey design decisions or results.
An inaccurate census would have far-reaching consequences, since the survey is used to draw electoral districts and allocate hundreds of billions of dollars of federal funds.
