Synthetic controls with imperfect pretreatment fit

Assessing Model Fit with Synthetic vs. Real Data

Assessing whether a model is a good fit to the data is non trivial. The standard practice is to compare a few machine learning techniques to learn a model from data, and pick the one with the highest predictive performance. The winner is considered the best fitting model. But each model may involve different machine learning algorithms that carry their own set of parameters and constraints impo...

3-d Imaging and Compression { Synthetic Hybrid or Natural Fit?

International Workshop on Synthetic Natural Hybrid Coding and Three Dimensional Imaging IWSNHC3DI'99, Santorini, Greece, September 1999. This paper highlights recent advances in image compression aided by 3-D geometry information. As two examples, we present a modelaided video coder for e cient compression of head-and-shoulder scenes and a geometry-aided coder for 4-D light elds for image-based...

- D Image Models and Compression { Synthetic Hybrid or Natural Fit ?

Gastric mucosal damage in sepsis--effects of pretreatment with a synthetic prostaglandin E1 analogue.

An experimental model was used which includes intragastric instillation of 80 mM HCl and 0.6 ml bile/kg followed by intravenous infusion of live E coli in cats for up to three hours. This procedure regularly induces gastric mucosal ulcerations. Mucosal blood flow was measured by microspheres before, early, and late in sepsis. Total gastric blood flow was recorded electromagnetically. Mucosal re...
