However one of the major problems in such compression schemes, is that there should exist hardware modules capable of compressing the network streams up to the speed of the state-of-theart links. In this paper we present such a hardware compressor/decompressor that can work up to these speeds, ...

We are interested in average changes in outcome y after a policy change. As in the case of the medical field, we are interested in the outcomes of a new medicine, including its effectiveness and its side effect.
