In paired experiments, participants are grouped into pairs with similar characteristics, and one observation from each pair is randomly assigned to treatment. Because of both the pairing and the randomization, the treatment and control…
For paired comparison experiments involving competing options described by two-level attributes several different methods of constructing designs having block paired observations under the main effects model are presented. These designs are…
We provide a geometric formulation of the problem of identification of the matching surplus function and we show how the estimation problem can be solved by the introduction of a generalized entropy function over the set of matchings.
A new ansatz is presented for a Lax pair describing systems of particles on the line interacting via (possibly nonsymmetric) pairwise forces. Particular cases of this yield the known Lax pairs for the Calogero-Moser and Toda systems, as…
There has been a wide interest to extend univariate and multivariate nonparametric procedures to clustered and hierarchical data. Traditionally, parametric mixed models have been used to account for the correlation structures among the…
Most doctors in the NRMP are matched to one of their most-preferred internship programs. Since various surveys indicate similarities across doctors' preferences, this suggests a puzzle. How can nearly everyone get a position in a…
Caliper matching is used to estimate causal effects of a binary treatment from observational data by comparing matched treated and control units. Units are matched when their propensity scores, the conditional probability of receiving…
Nuclear supersymmetry is reviewed and some of its applications and extensions are discussed, together with a proposal for new, more stringent and precise tests to probe the supersymmetry classification, in particular, correlations between…
Exchangeable arrays are natural tools to model common forms of dependence between units of a sample. Jointly exchangeable arrays are well suited to dyadic data, where observed random variables are indexed by two units from the same…
In paired comparison experiments respondents usually evaluate pairs of competing options. For this situation we introduce an appropriate model and derive optimal designs in the presence of second-order interactions when all attributes are…
This comment critically discusses certain aspects of a recent paper on parity doubling in the hadronic spectrum and its possible connection to chiral symmetry restoration.

Evaluating blocked randomized experiments from a potential outcomes perspective has two primary branches of work. The first focuses on larger blocks, with multiple treatment and control units in each block. The second focuses on matched…
Critical pair analysis provides a convenient and computable criterion of confluence, which is a fundamental property in rewriting theory, for a wide variety of rewriting systems. Bonchi et al. showed validity of critical pair analysis for…
Combining distributions is an important issue in decision theory and Bayesian inference. Logarithmic pooling is a popular method to aggregate expert opinions by using a set of weights that reflect the reliability of each information source.…
A functional theory based on single-particle occupation numbers is developed for pairing. This functional, that generalizes the BCS approach, directly incorporates corrections due to particle number conservation. The functional is…
