cem: Software for Coarsened Exact Matching
This program is designed to improve causal inference via a method of matching that is widely applicable in observational data and easy to understand and use (if you understand how to draw a histogram, you will understand this method). The program implements the coarsened exact matching (CEM) algorithm, described below. CEM may be used alone or in combination with any existing matching method. T...
متن کاملcem: Coarsened Exact Matching in Stata
This paper introduces a Stata implementation of Coarsened Exact Matching (CEM), a new method for improving the estimation of causal effects by reducing imbalance in covariates between treated and control groups. CEM is faster, easier to use and understand, requires fewer assumptions, more easily automated, and possesses more attractive statistical properties for many applications than existing ...
متن کاملCausal Inference Without Balance Checking: Coarsened Exact Matching
We discuss a method for improving causal inferences called ‘‘Coarsened Exact Matching’’ (CEM), and the new ‘‘Monotonic Imbalance Bounding’’ (MIB) class of matching methods from which CEM is derived. We summarize what is known about CEM and MIB, derive and illustrate several new desirable statistical properties of CEM, and then propose a variety of useful extensions. We show that CEM possesses a...
متن کاملImproving practical exact string matching
We present improved variations of the BNDM algorithm for exact string matching. At each alignment our bit-parallel algorithms process a q-gram before testing the state variable. In addition we apply reading a 2-gram in one instruction. Our point of view is practical efficiency of algorithms. Our experiments show that the new variations are faster than earlier algorithms in many cases.

چکیده: بررسی ادبیات مربوطه در کشور در زمینه یادگیری زبان انگلیسی نشان میدهد که علیرغم اهمیت املا در فرآیند یادگیری به طور عام و یادگیری زبان انگلیسی به طور خاص، این مولفه از جایگاهی متناسب با اهمیت آن برخوردار نیست و عمدتاً نادیده گرفته شده است. تحقیقات گستردهای در خارج از کشور در مورد ماهیت این مولفه صورت گرفته است، در حالی که به جرأت میتوان گفت در داخل کشور گامی در مورد درک ماهیت آن و فرآی...
