8 It was postulated that there were subsets of observations which were then rounded to the nearest 100, 50, 20, 10, 5 or 2 which gives an expected distribution of digits as a function of the proportion rounded to each level of accuracy.
A statistical model of digit preference assuming rounding is used to quantify the proportions rounding to specific accuracy levels.
All proportions are rounded to the nearest whole number.
That night alone yielded 300 arrests.Critics of the raids say they are expensive and futile: there are 12m illegal immigrants in America, and only a tiny proportion can be rounded up in this way.
We wanted to assess the proportion of women who rounded to 12 to 16 or 11 to 16kg, being unaware of the precision of the guidelines or our study protocol.
‡An assumption is made that in an active screening program only a proportion of patients with a negative confirmatory SSM or Xpert MTB/RIF result receive clinical diagnosis, and this proportion depends on the NPV (rounded to 2 decimals as follows: 1-NPV *100 If NPV ≥ 99.5% then the proportion is 5%.
There were generous proportions all round, and some women had stretch marks.
All proportions reported in the original documents have been rounded up to whole percentages for ease of reading and interpretation.
All percentages and CIs for proportions were calculated using the exact method and are rounded to the nearest percentage.
The median proportion of rounds conducted within patient rooms was 33%, and increased total round duration did not correlate with increased time within patient care rooms; findings consistent with previous literature [ 7, 18, 19, 22].
