Synthetic Control and Inference
We examine properties of permutation tests in the context of synthetic control. Permutation tests are frequently used method of inference for synthetic control when the number of potential control units is small. We show that the size of permutation tests may be distorted. Several alternative methods are discussed.
متن کاملOn Rough Sets and Inference Analysis
In this paper, we give an overview of a promising approach to inference detection and analysis in relational databases, rst introduced in 25]. The approach employs techniques from rough sets theory and is able to take into account of all certain and possible material implications in the data, including functional dependencies. It can also be used to address inference threats posed by rule-induc...
متن کاملPediatric Pain, Predictive Inference and Sensitivity Analysis
The understanding, prevention and treatment of pain is of great importance to medical science. Children were asked to immerse their hands in cold water until they were unable to tolerate the pain of the cold. The length of time that they kept their hands immersed is a measure of pain tolerance. Two factors were studied; one factor is a child's Style of Coping (CS) with the pain (ATTENDERS pay a...
متن کاملRandom Sets and Confidence Procedures
The set of confidence procedures is identified as a fundamental subset of the set of random sets. This is accomplished by defining a simple a-field on the codomain of a set-valued mapping such that the mapping is a confidence procedure if it is measurable relative to that a-field. The confidence procedure becomes Borei measurable when the a-field is generated by a topology that we also define. ...
متن کاملComparative Politics and the Synthetic Control Method
In recent years, a widespread consensus has emerged about the necessity of establishing bridges between quantitative and qualitative approaches to empirical research in political science. In this article, we discuss the use of the synthetic control method as a way to bridge the quantitative/qualitative divide in comparative politics. The synthetic control method provides a systematic way to cho...
