Report on Statistical Disclosure Limitation Methodology
No full textOriginally Prepared by Subcommittee on Disclosure Limitation Methodology 1994; Revised by Confidentiality and Data Access Committee 2005The Federal Committee on Statistical Methodology (FCSM) was organized by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in 1975 to investigate issues of data quality affecting Federal statistics. Members of the committee, selected by OMB on the basis of their individual expertise and interest in statistical methods, serve in a personal capacity rather than as agency representatives. The committee conducts its work through subcommittees that are organized to study particular issues. Statistical Policy Working Papers are prepared by the subcommittee members and are reviewed and approved by FCSM members. The Report on Statistical Disclosure Limitation Methodology, Statistical Policy Working Paper 22, discusses both tables and microdata and describes current practices of the principal Federal statistical agencies. The original report includes a tutorial, guidelines, and recommendations for good practice; recommendations for further research; and an annotated bibliography. In 2004, the Confidentiality and Data Access Committee (CDAC) revised Statistical Policy Working Paper 22 to include research and new methodologies that were developed over the past ten years, and to reflect current agency practices. The annotated bibliography was partially updated
A Methodology to Implement Gourlay's Mathematical Framework for the Investigation of TestingJune 16, 19931
No full textThis paper presents a methodology to apply a software testing theory. The presentation of the methodology is accompanied by a central example and several supplementary examples. We also raise a number of issues related to our implementation methodology. A Methodology to Implement Gourlay's Mathematical Framework for the Investigation of TestingJune 16, 19932 1.0 Introduction Software testers find themselves faced with a vast array of test methods from which to choose. Of immediate concern is answering the question, "which test techniques are better than others?" Testing organizations have attempted to answer this question via empirical techniques, mostly based on establishing measures of performance based on organizational experience with different test techniques. Immediately, difficulties arise when attempts to normalize these performance measures (in order to apply results to predict future behavior) with respect to program size, complexity, experience of developers, and so on. ..
The construction of Karen Karnak: The multi-author-function
No full textThis thesis is situated within the comparatively recent developments of Web 2.0 and the emergence of interactive WikiMedia, and explores the mode of authorship within a Read/Write culture compared to that of a Read/Only tradition. The hypothesis of this study is that the role of the audience has become merged with the author, and as such, represents new functions and attributes, distinct from a more conventional concept of authorship, in which the roles of audience and author are more separate. Read/Write and participatory culture, as defined by this study, is focused on collaboration, and includes the influences of D.I.Y. culture, Open-Source practices and the production of text by multiple authors. Multi-authorship presents a re-thinking of several concepts which support the notion of the individual author, since the focus of multi-authorship is not on attribution and ownership of a finished text, but on the continued malleability of a text. Modes of multi-authorship, demonstrated in the use of the pseudonyms Alan Smithee and Karen Eliot, represent declarative authors whose names signify multiple origins, whilst concurrently indicating a distinct body of work. The function of these names form an important context to this study, since primary research involves the construction of an experimental mode of multi-authorship utilising WikiMedia technology and the interaction of thirty nine participants, who are invited to create a body of work under the collective pseudonym Karen Karnak. The data generated by this experiment is analysed using aspects of Michel Foucault's author-function to identify and determine power structures inherent in the WikiMedia context. The interplay of power structures, including concepts such as identity, ownership and the body of work, affect the resulting mode of authorship and contribute to the construction of Karen Karnak, suggesting further areas of research into the emerging multi-author
