How much should we trust differences-in-differences estimates?
, 2003
"... Most papers that employ Differences-in-Differences estimation (DD) use many years of data and focus on serially correlated outcomes but ignore that the resulting standard errors are inconsistent. To illustrate the severity of this issue, we randomly generate placebo laws in state-level data on femal ..."

Closed-form solution of absolute orientation using unit quaternions
- J. Opt. Soc. Am. A
, 1987
"... Finding the relationship between two coordinate systems using pairs of measurements of the coordinates of a number of points in both systems is a classic photogrammetric task. It finds applications in stereophotogrammetry and in robotics. I present here a closed-form solution to the least-squares pr ..."

On the acceptability of arguments and its fundamental role in nonmonotonic reasoning, logic programming and n-person games
- Artificial Intelligence
, 1995
"... The purpose of this paper is to study the fundamental mechanism humans use in argumentation and its role in different major approaches to commonsense reasoning in AI and logic programming. We present three novel results: We develop a theory for argumentation in which the acceptability of arguments i ..."

is precisely defined. We show that logic programming and nonmonotonic reasoning in AI are different forms of argumentation. We show that argumentation can be viewed as a special form of logic programming with negation as failure. This result introduces a general method for generating metainterpreters
A capacity theory of comprehension: Individual differences in working memory
- Psychological Review
, 1992
"... A theory of the way working memory capacity constrains comprehension is proposed. The theory proposes that both processing and storage are mediated by activation and that the total amount of activation available in working memory varies among individuals. Individual differences in working memory cap ..."

An Information-Theoretic Definition of Similarity
- In Proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Machine Learning
, 1998
"... Similarity is an important and widely used concept. Previous definitions of similarity are tied to a particular application or a form of knowledge representation. We present an informationtheoretic definition of similarity that is applicable as long as there is a probabilistic model. We demonstrate ..."

Dynamic programming algorithm optimization for spoken word recognition
- IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON ACOUSTICS, SPEECH, AND SIGNAL PROCESSING
, 1978
"... This paper reports on an optimum dynamic programming (DP) based time-normalization algorithm for spoken word recognition. First, a general principle of time-normalization is given using timewarping function. Then, two time-normalized distance definitions, ded symmetric and asymmetric forms, are der ..."

Multivariate adaptive regression splines
- The Annals of Statistics
, 1991
"... A new method is presented for flexible regression modeling of high dimensional data. The model takes the form of an expansion in product spline basis functions, where the number of basis functions as well as the parameters associated with each one (product degree and knot locations) are automaticall ..."

relationships that are nearly additive or involve interactions in at most a few variables. In addition, the model can be represented in a form that separately identifies the additive contributions and those associated with the different multivariable interactions.
Memory Consistency and Event Ordering in Scalable Shared-Memory Multiprocessors
- In Proceedings of the 17th Annual International Symposium on Computer Architecture
, 1990
"... Scalable shared-memory multiprocessors distribute memory among the processors and use scalable interconnection networks to provide high bandwidth and low latency communication. In addition, memory accesses are cached, buffered, and pipelined to bridge the gap between the slow shared memory and the f ..."

and the fast processors. Unless carefully controlled, such architectural optimizations can cause memory accesses to be executed in an order different from what the programmer expects. The set of allowable memory access orderings forms the memory consistency model or event ordering model for an architecture.
The Varieties of Reference
, 1982
"... Tracing the development of concepts of affect and emotion in mathematics education (ME) research is informative for research on teaching statistics. In both areas, early research focused on more stable aspects of affect- beliefs, values and attitudes- using surveys to study dimensionality, and corre ..."

, and correlations with performance. In ME, a concern with gender differences led to focusing on “mathematics anxiety ” so as to provide a non-cognitive explanation for any gender differences in performance. McLeod (1992) proposed a spectrum of forms of affect, from beliefs (more stable, “cooler”) over to emotions
