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...
Participants completed a random lottery task in which, on each trial, they could either win (gain 20c) or lose (gain 0c). Each lottery consisted of a simple coin flip in which the green side indicated a win, and the red side indicted a loss (win probability of 50%). Before their lo...

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...

This note outlines a method for using a biased coin to simulate an (unbiased) roulette wheel. It contains an interesting application of a theorem of Fermat that, for every prime p and an arbitrary positive integer n, the integer n p -n is divisible by p....
"Rational economic agents" making optimal choices, such as shifting to less expensive products, is a fundamental paradigm for theoretical and applied economics. This requires accurate and unbiased economic information on prices. Since the mid-1990s, several nations have switched to estimation methods fo...
