On distribution of the depth index on perfect matchings [PDF]
We study the restriction of depth index statistic on the set of perfect matchings. In particular, we provide additional combinatorial description of the statistic for perfect matchings and calculate the generating polynomial. The main result of the present short paper is that the depth index on perfect matchings is equidistributed with the rank ...

Probability matching priors for some parameters of the bivariate normal distribution [PDF]
This paper develops some objective priors for certain parameters of the bivariate normal distribution. The parameters considered are the regression coefficient, the generalized variance, and the ratio of the conditional variance of one variable given the other to the marginal variance of the other variable. The criterion used is the asymptotic matching

On predictive probability matching priors [PDF]
We revisit the question of priors that achieve approximate matching of Bayesian and frequentist predictive probabilities. Such priors may be thought of as providing frequentist calibration of Bayesian prediction or simply as devices for producing frequentist prediction regions.

Forecasting football matches by predicting match statistics [PDF]
This paper considers the use of observed and predicted match statistics as inputs to forecasts of the outcomes of football matches. It is shown that, were it possible to know the match statistics in advance, highly informative forecasts of the match outcome could be made.

Large Sample Properties of Matching for Balance [PDF]
Matching methods are widely used for causal inference in observational studies. Among them, nearest neighbor matching is arguably the most popular. However, nearest neighbor matching does not generally yield an average treatment effect estimator that is $\sqrt{n}$-consistent (Abadie and Imbens, 2006).

Venom peptides have shown promise in treating pain. Our study uses computer screening to identify a peptide that targets a sodium channel (NaV1.7) linked to chronic pain. We produced the peptide in the laboratory and refined its design, advancing the search for innovative pain therapies.

Probability matching, also known as the "matching law" or Herrnstein's Law, has long puzzled economists and psychologists because of its apparent inconsistency with basic self-interest.

Testing Biased Randomization Assumptions and Quantifying Imperfect Matching and Residual Confounding in Matched Observational Studies [PDF]
One central goal of design of observational studies is to embed non-experimental data into an approximate randomized controlled trial using statistical matching. Despite empirical researchers' best intention and effort to create high-quality matched samples, residual imbalance due to observed covariates not being well matched often persists.

Cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) promote cancer growth, invasion (metastasis), and drug resistance. Here, we identified functional and diverse circulating CAFs (cCAFs) in patients with metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa). cCAFs were found in higher numbers and were functional and diverse in mPCa patients versus healthy individuals, suggesting their ...
