Mr. Hammer suggested that the numbers looked bad because New Jersey Transit exaggerated its problems by "overcounting" them.

Essentially, this would mean that it's been overcounting its user numbers for years and is now attempting to course-correct.

The company disclosed its latest gaffe on Tuesday, saying that its misclassification of user activity had led to immaterial overcounting of monthly and daily users.

" The F.B.I. said it was conducting its own "in-depth review of how this overcounting previously occurred, and how the methodology can be corrected to capture future data accurately.

Specifically, the Urban Institute projected that a census including the citizenship question could undercount Hispanics nationwide by 217%, while slightly overcounting whites and also significantly undercounting African Americans and more modestly missing Asian Americans.

Two years ago, it said it had 175 million of them — though that number doesn't mean registered users, so it's likely overcounting — and many of them appreciate it because it's not like Spotify, or Apple Music, or the other guys.

Originally designed in the late 1990s when autism was a less-known diagnosis, the agency's approach may now be overcounting kids with ASD by relying on school and health records instead of in-person evaluations, said David Mandell, a professor of psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine.

At least one researcher says the overall rate has been steady for decades, as the president claims; other public health researchers assert that the pace tripled in 2011, and that the first guy was overcounting by including targeted, multiple-victim homicides alongside the more randomized, mass-shooting horrors like Gilroy's Garlic Festival or the El Paso-Juarez Walmart.

Both sides have been accused of overcounting the numbers at the time given the revival of the Armenian Question and population statistics became important during the Berlin Conference.Sarkis Y.

The Angami–Pochuri languages are a small family of Sino-Tibetan languages spoken in southern Nagaland and Northern Manipur of northeast India. Conventionally classified as "Naga", they are not clearly related to other Naga languages, and are conservatively classified as an independent branch of Sino-Tibetan, pending further research.

National population statistics are usually collected by conducting a census. However, because these are usually huge logistical exercises, countries normally conduct censuses only once every five to 10 years. Even when a census is conducted it may miss counting everyone (known as undercount). Also, some people counted in the census may be recorded in a different place than where they usually live, because they are travelling, for example (this may result in overcounting).

In December 2015, Bryndon Fisher, a Seattle resident, filed a class-action lawsuit in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims against the Administrative Office of the United States Courts,Fisher v. United States, No. 15-1575, (Fed. Cl. September 26, 2016) alleging that PACER overcharges its subscribers by billing by the number of bytes generated instead of by page count, and by overcounting the number of bytes. The case remains pending Fisher v.

G. D. Mahan, Many-Particle Physics, 2nd ed. (Plenum Press, New York, 1990) The RPA was criticized in the late 1950s for overcounting the degrees of freedom and the call for justification led to intense work among theoretical physicists. In a seminal paper Murray Gell-Mann and Keith Brueckner showed that the RPA can be derived from a summation of leading-order chain Feynman diagrams in a dense electron gas. The consistency in these results became an important justification and motivated a very strong growth in theoretical physics in the late 50s and 60s.

However, President Reagan carried the district 61% to 38%. Buoyed by these strong coattails, McIntyre trailed McCloskey by only 72 votes after the initial vote count. A tabulation error in two precincts of one county, however, resulted in an overcounting of McCloskey votes, and Indiana's Secretary of State (a Republican) quickly certified McIntyre as the winner by 34 votes, without checking other counties, even though a recount in another county showed McCloskey with an overall lead of 72 votes. After a recount, McIntyre was up by 418 votes, but more than 4,800 ballots were not recounted for technical reasons.

Marashlian maintains there was a reciprocal undercounting on the Ottoman's government's part on the one hand, and underreporting by Armenians, on the other.Levon Marashlian, Politics and Demography: Armenians, Turks and Kurds in the Ottoman Empire Zoryan Institute (1991) McCarthy, nonetheless, claims that his results and the Ottoman adult male records were accurate. Others go on to criticize McCarthy in not only having undercounted the prewar Armenian population, but also overcounting the survivors. McCarthy, for his part, argue that his works are too easily labeled by academia as a Turkish-apologist, and complains of a lack of scholarly debate.

In computing, the count–min sketch (CM sketch) is a probabilistic data structure that serves as a frequency table of events in a stream of data. It uses hash functions to map events to frequencies, but unlike a hash table uses only sub-linear space, at the expense of overcounting some events due to collisions. The count–min sketch was invented in 2003 by Graham Cormode and S. Muthu Muthukrishnan and described by them in a 2005 paper. Count–min sketches are essentially the same data structure as the counting Bloom filters introduced in 1998 by Fan et al.. A preliminary version appeared at SIGCOMM '98.

Since being classified as H-1B-dependent requires employers to incur additional cost and complexity, and the threshold for H-1Bs generally increases with the number of full-time equivalent employees reported (with the exception of the downward jump from 50 to 51) employers are incentivized to make their count of full-time-equivalent employees as large as possible. The regulations are therefore geared to restricting employers from overcounting the number of FTEs. The 2000 Interim Final Rule from the U.S. Department of Labor provided the following guidance regarding the definition of full-time equivalent employee for the purpose of determining H-1B-dependence.

In statistical thermodynamics, the symmetry number corrects for any overcounting of equivalent molecular conformations in the partition function. In this sense, the symmetry number depends upon how the partition function is formulated. For example, if one writes the partition function of ethane so that the integral includes full rotation of a methyl, then the 3-fold rotational symmetry of the methyl group contributes a factor of 3 to the symmetry number; but if one writes the partition function so that the integral includes only one rotational energy well of the methyl, then the methyl rotation does not contribute to the symmetry number.
