OK the article ita linked has confused me.
Dr Esponda gives the example of a negative survey in which respondents are asked to tick the box of one sexually transmitted disease they do not have. e reckons that this would be sufficient to estimate the population frequency of each disease.
OK. I don't get this. You have a survey with the following choices:
1) I don't have the funny syphilis.
2) I don't have lobsters.
3) I am not carrying/did not father the anti-christ.
In a survey of 25,000 peole, 33% select 1, 60% select 2 and 7% select 3.
How does this tell you the prevalence of any or all of the three?
YAY for even partially mobile JZ.

The flopsy asleep picture on Tom's shoulder? So darn cute. Parents are freaky and off-putting but a really cute darn pictures.
I just realized that I am leaving town Friday morning. Thus I should, dunno, pack? prepare to leave? do laundry so I actually have clean clothes to pack? eat something? buy my sister some freaking baby presents?
UPDATE on last night's movie ad triggered crime notoriety question! The ad for Hollywoodland says it's "Hollywood's most notorious case" or whatever. Hence Black Dahlia claiming the state of California.
All becomes clear.
Oh, for fuck's sake. One of my half.com items apparently never got to the buyer. This pisses me off because it's one I hated to part with and would rather have kept -- now I'll be out the book AND the money.
That sucks, Emily. I hope it somehow shows up.
Ooh, that sucks, Em. Is there anything to prevent someone from lying and saying "Nope, never got it!"?
One of my best friends (from high school no less) has primarily gone by his nickname "Raven" as long as I've known him.
Heh. In college, one of my good friends also went by Raven. I heard about him before I met him, and when I walked in to the office and saw a round-faced guy with long strawberry blonde hair and khakis, my first thought was "that CANNOT be "raven"!"

Well, if you trust your list, then 2/3 have the funny syphilis, 40% have lobsters, and 93% are spawning the antichrist.
I don't remotely see the point, but I'm going to re-read the article later because things hurt.
