Preschool and maternal labour market outcomes: evidence from a regression discontinuity design [PDF]
Expanding preschool education has the dual goals of improving child outcomes and work incentives for mothers. This paper provides evidence on the second, identifying the impact of preschool attendance on maternal labor market outcomes in Argentina.

Cell Segmentation Beyond 2D—A Review of the State‐of‐the‐Art
Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.Cell segmentation underpins many biological image analysis tasks, yet most deep learning methods remain limited to 2D despite the inherently 3D nature of cellular processes. This review surveys segmentation approaches beyond 2D, comparing 2.5D and fully 3D methods, analyzing 31 models and 32 volumetric datasets, and introducing a unified reference ...

Quantile Treatment Effects in the Regression Discontinuity Design: Process Results and Gini Coefficient [PDF]
This paper shows nonparametric identification of quantile treatment effects (QTE) in the regression discontinuity design. The distributional impacts of social programs such as welfare, education, training programs and unemployment insurance are of large ...

Composition‐Aware Cross‐Sectional Integration for Spatial Transcriptomics
Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.Multi‐section spatial transcriptomics demands coherent cell‐type deconvolution, domain detection, and batch correction, yet existing pipelines treat these tasks separately. FUSION unifies them within a composition‐aware latent framework, modeling reads as cell‐type–specific topics and clustering in embedding space.

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 ...

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.This article outlines how artificial intelligence could reshape the design of next‐generation transistors as traditional scaling reaches its limits. It discusses emerging roles of machine learning across materials selection, device modeling, and fabrication processes, and highlights hierarchical reinforcement learning as a promising framework for ...

Does Head Start Improve Children’s Life Chances? Evidence from a Regression Discontinuity Design [PDF]
This paper exploits a new source of variation in Head Start funding to identify the programs effects on health and schooling. In 1965 the Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO) provided technical assistance to the 300 poorest counties in the U.S.

Regression Discontinuity Design with Covariates
, 2023 This thesis studies regression discontinuity designs with the use of additional covariates for estimation of the average treatment effect. We prove asymptotic normality of the covariate-adjusted estimator under sufficient regularity conditions. In the case of a high-dimensional setting with a large number of covariates depending on the number of ...
