Ground truth bias in external cluster validity indices
External cluster validity indices (CVIs) are used to quantify the quality of a clustering by comparing the similarity between the clustering and a ground truth partition. However, some external CVIs show a biased behaviour when selecting the most similar clustering. Users may consequently be misguided by such results. Recognizing and understanding the bias behaviour of CVIs is therefore crucial...
متن کاملWeighting for External Validity∗
External validity is a challenge in treatment effect estimation. Even in randomized trials, the experimental sample often differs from the population of interest. If participation decisions are explained by observed variables such differences can be overcome by reweighting. However, participation may depend on unobserved variables. Even in such cases, under a common support assumption there exi...
متن کاملA simple model for accretion disks in the post-Newtonian approximation
p { margin-bottom: 0.1in; direction: ltr; line-height: 120%; text-align: left; }a:link { } In this paper, the evolution of accretion disks in the post-Newtonian limit has been investigated. These disks are formed around gravitational compact objects such as black holes, neutron stars, or white dwarfs. Although most analytical researches have been conducted in this context in the framework o...
متن کاملSimple Mechanism for a Positive Exchange Bias
We argue that the interface coupling, responsible for the positive exchange bias (HE) observed in ferromagnetic/compensated antiferromagnetic (FM/AF) bilayers, favors an antiferromagnetic alignment. At low cooling field this coupling polarizes the AF spins close to the interface, which spin configuration persists after the sample is cooled below the Néel temperature. This pins the FM spins as i...
متن کاملA simple criterion for controlling selection bias
Controlling selection bias, a statistical error caused by preferential sampling of data, is a fundamental problem in machine learning and statistical inference. This paper presents a simple criterion for controlling selection bias in the odds ratio, a widely used measure for association between variables, that connects the nature of selection bias with the graph modeling the selection mechanism...
