The proliferation of connected sensing devices (or Internet of Things) can in theory enable a range of applications that make rich inferences about users and their environment. But in practice developing such applications today is arduous because they must implement all data sensing and inference logic, even as devices move or are temporarily disconnected. We develop Beam, a framework that simp...

Regression Discontinuity Design with Covariates In this paper, the regression discontinuity design (RDD) is generalized to account for differences in observed covariates X in a fully nonparametric way. It is shown that the treatment effect can be estimated at the rate for one-dimensional nonparametric regression irrespective of the dimension of X. It thus extends the analysis of Hahn, Todd, and...

WilliamAlston’sTheoryofAppearinghas attracted considerable attention in recent years, both for its elegant interpretation of direct realism in light of the presentational character of perceptual experience and for its central role in his defense of the justificatory force of Christian mystical experiences. There are different ways to account for presentational character, however, and in this ar...

As applications become more complex with millions of lines of code, maintaining this code becomes an increasing burden. One fundamental set of tools involved in helping code maintenance finds segments of code given a higher-level concept. Although a number of techniques exist for this task, they have a number of issues. This paper discusses these limitations and proposes a number of techniques ...

Continuity of isotone mappings and embeddings of a chain G into another chain are studied. Especially, conditions are found under which the set of points of discontinuity of such a mapping is dense in G.

This paper examines the effect of attending the flagship state university on the earnings of 28 to 33 year olds by combining confidential admissions records from a large state university with earnings data collected through the state’s unemployment insurance program. To distinguish the effect of attending the flagship state university from the effects of confounding factors correlated with the ...

We estimate the impact of a large anti-poverty program – the Uruguayan PANES – on political support for the government that implemented it. The program mainly consisted of a monthly cash transfer for a period of roughly two and half years. Using the discontinuity in program assignment based on a pre-treatment score, we find that beneficiary households are 21 to 28 percentage points more likely ...
