Hello, I have got a cluster sample using an election dataset where I already had the final results of a county-specific election. I am trying to figure out what would be the best sampling design for my data. The structure of the dataset is: 1) polling station (in general schools where people vote, for a county, for example, there are 15 polling stations) 2) inside each polling station, there are voting units, where people actually vote (on average there are about 40 voting units for polling station) 3) for each voting unit I have the total votes by candidate (e.g., candidate 1 =322, candida...

I am working in Rails 2.0 and I have the following functional test. class VotesControllerTest < ActionController::TestCase def test_should_create_vote assert_difference(''Vote.count'') do post :create, {:vote => {:vote_value => 5, :user_id => users(:nick).id, :entry_id => en...

My ajax stopped working when I switched to using respond_with. For my Votes, I have the create action and the corresponding create.js.erb, and respond_to :html, :js, :xml in the controller. Heres the log when I try and create a vote: Started POST "/stories/3-asdfasdf1111/votes" for 127.0.0.1 at Fri Jan 14 20:46:36 -0800 2011 Processing by VotesController#cre...

...items` for MySQL but not for other databases. - In the same vein, is there a way to get a field name the same way Rail''s ORM would put it in a SQL query? - Maybe there''s a way to get both, the table name and the field name in one operation. I''m imaging something like Item.voteable_id.for_query => "`items`.`voteable`". - How do I escape code to avoid SQL injection when not in conditions? I''m using the user_id variable directly in a query and although it''s impossible for a user to put anything in it, I''d rather escape it properly. In...

I''m trying to work out the most reasonable way to keep track of users "voting" for or against a particular bit of data. Obviously, I don''t want them to be able to just bang on the link -- I''d prefer to limit it to one vote per day, for example. I could record the fact that they''ve voted in the session, but I''d really rather not have sessions for the portions of the site where voting is relevant. This idea also seems fairly fragile. So far, the best plan I have is to add a "votes" table...

From: Christopher Snow <cs at m0n0.co.uk> > If that's the case, shouldn't the credit vote go to Fedora? Disclaimer: This is 100% my _opinion_ (don't take it otherwise) 1. Credit At some point a lot of credit can go to a lot of projects. Yes, many are thanx to Red Hat -- by far the largest of any commercial entity. But then many are thanx to many maintainers in general. It's...

Hi everybody, after the initial positive community review of the http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Mirage_Incubation_Project_Proposal, it is time to have a formal vote. Who can vote? - Project leads of Mature Xen.org projects - Committers of Mature Xen.org projects - Others can register their vote in support of the project, but the vote is not binding. How to vote? - Vote via the voting form at http://xen.org/polls/mirage_incubation_proposal.html Deadline? -...

Hey everybody, I''ve got a model that represents kind of a turn-based games. Certain actions can only be made unders certain conditions. For simplicity, we''ll say that the only condition for a particular action is that the weekday be Tuesday. def add_vote raise ''You cannot vote today'' unless Date.today.wday == 2 ... end In my controller I want to show a link, but only if the user is allowed to vote. I''m wondering the best way to do this. I think the best way is to make another method, which I can call from within bo...

Hi, I am doing an eager loading in ruby on rails using below statement ------------------------ Article.find(:all, :include => [:asset, :vote], :conditions=>"assets.parent_id is null", :order=>"stat_final_ranking desc", :limit=>20) --------------------------------------- the above statement resulted in this expensive query. After indexing, it take about 3 seconds to execute...

...preliminary round voting is completed in the "2005 Readers' Choice Awards" at Linux Journal. CentOS was nominated in the "distribution:" category along with 18 other Linux distros ... and we finished in the top 3 (along with Ubuntu and FedoraCore). Thanks to every one who voted for CentOS.

Hi, My work with Rails has been fairly straightforward, until yesterday... I''ve encountered rather a peculiar problem that I''m not able to solve myself as a rails-newbie. The model code looks like this: class Link < ActiveRecord::Base has_one :user_vote end class UserVote < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :user belongs_to :link end I have a SQL query that is responsible for pulling out all links along with votes from a database: links = Link.find_by_sql( ["SELECT * FROM links LEFT JOIN user_votes ON links.id = user_votes.link_id&q...

I have Proposals and Members and Members can vote for a proposal only once. So, I have "Vote belongs_to :member, :proposal", but to make sure a member only votes once, I want to make sure that there isn''t a vote in the db with that member_id and proposal_id. I can just put the appropriate find in a vote.valid? but I wanted to...

Hi everyone, newbee query! I've installed R 2.8.0 and tried to run this simple glm - x is no of cars in a given year, y is the number voted in an election that year while n is the population 18+: votes <- data.frame(x = c(0.62,0.77,0.71,0.74,0.77,0.86,1.13,1.44), + y=c(502,542,711,653,771,806,934,1123), n= c(1617,1734,1680,1793,1678,1751,1807,1879)) > votes$YM <- cbind(vote...

...was looking at my favorite game that I want to get fully working on wine - "Company of Heroes (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=4506)". I can't understand why there isn't a global voting for this like all the other games. As it is, you can only vote on different versions of it. The combined votes of all the "versions" would be 41, which I think serves to highlight how much a game like this would be nice to get working proberly on wine. Instead its only sitting at a low 17. Doesn't this seem a bit wrong? P.S This could be me jus...

The Linux Journal's 2002 Readers' Choice poll is open. Vorbis is featured in the Favorite Audio Tool category, so go vote for your favorite codec! Actually, you even have the choice of voting for "ogg123" or for "Vorbis Tools", since it seems someone at Linux Journal is not quite aware of what Vorbis Tools contain. I suggest voting for "Vorbis Tools", so that the votes are concentrated i...

Hi all. I am going to do a simple "voting application" for a radiostation. The idea is to have listeners call in to vote on songs. What I want to do is to take a phonenumer for each song and present the result on a simple webpage. Eg. To vote on song number one, call 555-1111 To vote on song number two, call 555-2222 etc etc. When the listener calls in, a playback tells him: "Thank you for voting on song n...

Hi I have data for voting behaviour on two (related) binary votes. I want to examine the second vote, running separate regressions for groups who voted different ways on the first vote. As the votes are not independent, I guess that there is an issue with selection bias. So, I think I would like to fit a heckit style model but with a binary dependent variable -...

I have a model that I''ve been indexing and searching with ferret with no problems. I just added a counter_cache for some voting functionality to the same model and now when I perform the voting fxn on an object from that model, I get the FileNotFound error as it looks for a file named "_1c_1.del" ...which breaks my voting function. I tried killing the server and my index
