A C program may also use the exit() function specifying the integer status or exit macro as the first parameter. The return value from main is passed to the exit function, which for values zero, EXIT_SUCCESS or EXIT_FAILURE may translate it to "an implementation defined form" of successful termination or unsuccessful termination.

At a later date, another sample is then taken from the population (re-capture), and the proportion of previously marked samples is used to estimate the actual population size. This method can be extended to determining the validity of a sampling frame by taking a sample directly from the target population and then taking another sample from the ...
With censoring, observations result either in knowing the exact value that applies, or in knowing that the value lies within an interval. With truncation, observations never result in values outside a given range: values in the population outside the range are never seen or never recorded if they are seen.
Statistical inference makes propositions about a population, using data drawn from the population with some form of sampling.Given a hypothesis about a population, for which we wish to draw inferences, statistical inference consists of (first) selecting a statistical model of the process that generates the data and (second) deducing propositions from the model.
Organized crime groups in Ecuador are increasingly stealing fuel from state-run oil company Petroecuador to support drug trafficking operations, resulting in hundreds of millions in lost income ...
In a sample of 1000 observations, the presence of up to five observations deviating from the mean by more than three times the standard deviation is within the range of what can be expected, being less than twice the expected number and hence within 1 standard deviation of the expected number – see Poisson distribution – and not indicate an ...
