The Matching Method for Treatment Evaluation with Selective Participation and Ineligibles [PDF]

The matching method for treatment evaluation does not balance selective unobserved differences between treated and non-treated. We derive a simple correction term if there is an instrument that shifts the treatment probability to zero in specific cases ...

Regression Discontinuity Designs Under Interference

We extend the continuity-based framework to Regression Discontinuity Designs (RDDs) to identify and estimate causal effects under interference when units are connected through a network. Assignment to an "effective treatment," combining the individual treatment and a summary of neighbors' treatments, is determined by the unit's score and those of ...

Elastic Fast Marching Learning from Demonstration

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article presents Elastic Fast Marching Learning (EFML), a novel approach for learning from demonstration that combines velocity‐based planning with elastic optimization. EFML enables smooth, precise, and adaptable robot trajectories in both position and orientation spaces.

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF REMEDIAL COURSES IN ITALY: A FUZZY REGRESSION DISCONTINUITY DESIGN [PDF]

We evaluate the effects on student achievement of a number of remedial courses provided by an Italian University. To identify the causal effect of remediation we use a Fuzzy Regression Discontinuity Design, relying on the fact that students whose ...

Noise-induced randomization in regression discontinuity designs

Biometrika
Summary Regression discontinuity designs assess causal effects in settings where treatment is determined by whether an observed running variable crosses a prespecified threshold. Here, we propose a new approach to identification, estimation and inference in regression discontinuity designs that uses knowledge about exogenous noise (e.g.,

Iterative Data Curation for Machine Learning‐Based Inverse Design of Active Composite Plates for Four‐Dimensional Printing

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A machine learning framework is developed for the inverse design of 4D‐printed active composite plates. It utilizes a forward model to predict shapes from patterns and an inverse model to suggest initial patterns for desired shapes. This framework integrates a genetic algorithm to refine the predicted patterns, ensuring higher accuracy in achieving ...
