Randomization Does Not Help Much, Comparability Does
According to R.A. Fisher, randomization "relieves the experimenter from the anxiety of considering innumerable causes by which the data may be disturbed." Since, in particular, it is said to control for known and unknown nuisance factors that may considerably challenge the validity of a result, it has become very popular. This contribution challenges the received view. First, looking for quanti...
متن کاملDoes syntax help discourse segmentation? Not so much
Discourse segmentation is the first step in building discourse parsers. Most work on discourse segmentation does not scale to real-world discourse parsing across languages, for two reasons: (i) models rely on constituent trees, and (ii) experiments have relied on gold standard identification of sentence and token boundaries. We therefore investigate to what extent constituents can be replaced w...
متن کاملHow Much Does Globalization Help Segmentation?
This paper quantifies the information gained in integrating local measurements using spectral graph partitioning. We employ a large dataset of manually segmented images in order to learn an optimal affinity function between nearby pairs of pixels. Region cues are computed as the similarity in brightness, color, and texture between image patches. Boundary cues are incorporated by looking for the...
متن کاملRandomization Does Not Justify Logistic Regression
The logit model is often used to analyze experimental data. However, randomization does not justify the model, so the usual estimators can be inconsistent. A consistent estimator is proposed. Neyman’s non-parametric setup is used as a benchmark. In this setup, each subject has two potential responses, one if treated and the other if untreated; only one of the two responses can be observed. Besi...
متن کاملReality Does Not Recognize Borders
Reality does not recognize borders. Why we should use the very general term of “reality” and not science, because the borders that we draw are pure delusions, and on the opposite side there is the reality. The laws of the universe, either the physical nature of the world which the scientist studies or metaphysics which is the territory of philosophers, it isthe same reality that rules. Today ma...
