Previous microeconomic analyses of consumer choice in the housing market have either assumed the independence of irrelevant alternatives or have represented housing heterogeneity by some arbitrary aggregation of dwellings. This paper presents an empirical analysis of housing choice based upon individual households and dwellings which also estimates the degree of independence of neighborhood and...

We analyze the multi-view regression problem where we have two views X = (X, X) of the input data and a target variable Y of interest. We provide sufficient conditions under which we can reduce the dimensionality of X (via a projection) without loosing predictive power of Y . Crucially, this projection can be computed via a Canonical Correlation Analysis only on the unlabeled data. The algorith...

Exchangeability is a central notion in statistics and probability theory. The assumption that an infinite sequence of data points is exchangeable is at the core of Bayesian statistics. However, finite exchangeability as a statistical property that renders probabilistic inference tractable is less well-understood. We develop a theory of finite exchangeability and its relation to tractable probab...

Most control charts for variables data are constructed upon the assumption that the observations from a process are independent. In most applications however this assumption does not hold. The performance of process control schemes have to be evaluated in such circumstances. However most of the work published deal with shifts in the location of correlated processes. In this paper, the ARL perfo...

1. Note in the 2010 version of Professor Anderson’s Lecture 4 Notes, the characterization of the firm in a Robinson Crusoe economy is that it maximizes profit over feasible sets. This is incorrect, and the appropriate correction has been made. The correct description should coincide with our understanding of firms and agents from previous exchange economies and more general Arrow-Debreu economi...

background: antibiotics can be life saving if they are used correctly, and can have unwanted side effects specially resistance with incorrect use. unfortunately in fear of no response, physicians use broad spectrum antibiotics meticulously. in this drug utilization evaluation (due), improper use of vancomycin and five broad-spectrum antibiotics are studied to find faults and solution for this p...

According to a theorem recently proved in the theory of logical aggregation, any nonconstant social judgment function that satis…es independence of irrelevant alternatives (IIA) is dictatorial. We show that the strong and not very plausible IIA condition can be replaced with a minimal independence assumption plus a Pareto-like condition. This new version of the impossibility theorem likens it t...

We propose a new nonparametric test for the supposition of independence between two continuous random variables X and Y. Given a sample of (X,Y ), the test is based on the size of the longest increasing subsequence of the permutation which maps the ranks of the X observations to the ranks of the Y observations. We identify the independence assumption between the two continuous variables with th...

The method of matching critically relies on the assumption of conditional independence. When the conditioning variables are mismeasured, conditional independence does not hold for matching on measured variables, and matching estimators are biased. With multiple measurements on the mismeasured variables, average treatment e ects can be partially or fully identi ed using factor models, depending ...
