چکیده
• Section 2 defines the basic notation; • Section 4.2.1 states Conditions 1–3; • Section 4.2.2 defines the vectors Qa and Qb and the prediction errors ai and bi , and introduces the σx and σx,y notation for population variances and covariances; • Section 5 defines the vector Q and the prediction errors a∗∗ i and b∗∗ i . Let p̃A = nA/n [as in remark (iii) after Corollary 1.2]. Extend Section 2’s notation for population and group means to cover any scalar, vector, or matrix expression. For example:

Agnostic Notes on Regression Adjustments to Experimental Data: Reexamining Freedman’s Critique By
Freedman [Adv. in Appl. Math. 40 (2008) 180–193; Ann. Appl. Stat. 2 (2008) 176–196] critiqued ordinary least squares regression adjustment of estimated treatment effects in randomized experiments, using Neyman’s model for randomization inference. Contrary to conventional wisdom, he argued that adjustment can lead to worsened asymptotic precision, invalid measures of precision, and small-sample ...
متن کاملOn Regression Adjustments in Experiments with Several Treatments
Regression adjustments are often made to experimental data. Since randomization does not justify the models, bias is likely; nor are the usual variance calculations to be trusted. Here, we evaluate regression adjustments using Neyman’s nonparametric model. Previous results are generalized, and more intuitive proofs are given. A bias term is isolated, and conditions are given for unbiased estima...
متن کاملOn regression adjustments to experimental data
Regression adjustments are often made to experimental data. Since randomization does not justify the models, almost anything can happen. Here, we evaluate results using Neyman’s non-parametric model, where each subject has two potential responses, one if treated and the other if untreated. Only one of the two responses is observed. Regression estimates are generally biased, but the bias is smal...
متن کاملOrdinal convolutional neural networks for predicting RDoC positive valence psychiatric symptom severity scores.
BACKGROUND The CEGS N-GRID 2016 Shared Task in Clinical Natural Language Processing (NLP) provided a set of 1000 neuropsychiatric notes to participants as part of a competition to predict psychiatric symptom severity scores. This paper summarizes our methods, results, and experiences based on our participation in the second track of the shared task. OBJECTIVE Classical methods of text classif...
متن کاملReexamining Coherent Arbitrariness for the Evaluation of Common Goods and Simple Lotteries
We reexamine the effects of the anchoring manipulation of Ariely, Lowenstein and Prelec (2003) on the valuation of common market goods and found very weak anchoring effects. We perform the same manipulation on the evaluation of binary lotteries, and find no anchoring effects at all. This suggests limits on the robustness of anchoring effects. § We thank Drazen Prelec for many helpful conversati...
