متن کاملMaking Inferences from Controlled Income Maintenance Experiments
There are a wide variety of issues related to how controlled income maintenance experiments should be interpreted. This paper addresses a single question: If an experiment of limited duration is conducted under "ideal" conditions, what can be inferred from the experimental results about individual behavior in a world where a negative income tax is adopted permanently? Part I of the paper summar...
متن کاملAn optimization approach for making causal inferences
To make causal inferences from observational data, researchers have often turned to matching methods. These methods are variably successful. We address issues with matching methods by redefining the matching problem as a subset selection problem. Given a set of covariates, we seek to find two subsets, a control group and a treatment group, so that we obtain optimal balance, or, in other words, ...
متن کاملMethods for causal inference from gene perturbation experiments and validation.
Inferring causal effects from observational and interventional data is a highly desirable but ambitious goal. Many of the computational and statistical methods are plagued by fundamental identifiability issues, instability, and unreliable performance, especially for large-scale systems with many measured variables. We present software and provide some validation of a recently developed methodol...
متن کاملMaking Inferences in Natural Language Dialogs
This paper discusses the need in a na tura l language understanding system fo r a model of the speaker and of the conversat ion process i t s e l f . Most current programs use models of the domain of discourse to supply the knowledge necessary to understand what is being ta lked about. (See, e . g . , Schank[1973] or Charmak[ 1972 J. ) For example, Schank's system might contain a res taurant " ...
