Rounding halves

Journal of Applied Statistics, 1998, vol. 25, issue 6, 811-816

Abstract: This paper examines the consequences of requiring that data measured as multiples of a half should be reported as integers. General formulae are given for the mean and variance of rounded values. The formulae are applied in the context of fibre counting, where fibres that overlap a boundary are given a value of 1/2.
