We give new algorithms for simulating a flip of an unbiased coin by flipping a coin of unknown bias. We are interested in efficient algorithms, where the expected number of flips is our measure of efficiency. Other authors have represented algorithms as lattices, but by representing them instead...
Sampling a biased coin is an important MPC building block for evaluating randomized functions. This paper presents a new MPC protocol for sampling a biased coin using 2 d + 1 2d+1 unbiased coins. The protocol is statistically secure against passive adversaries and can be implemented using 11 d...
We then investigate the phenomenon of being biased to appear unbiased in eight studies. Research in psychology and economics has demonstrated time and again that people show preferential treatment to their friends and to those who have treated them favorably in the past (Cox, 2004; Delton, Kras...

preference impacts the beliefs we form and the confidence with which we hold those beliefs. In Experiment 2, we aimed to understand whether the preference for positively-biased information is attributable to the perception of positively-biased sources as more accurate than equivalent, unbiased sources...
3. Ties Are Rare: In practice, ties happen infrequently, so random selection would be used sparingly. The performance impact is negligible compared to the benefits of unbiased predictions. 4. Flexibility: Offering a “random” tie-breaking option alongside “most_frequent” or “first” gives use...
