Monetary Policy Rules and Macroeconomic Stability: Evidence and Some Theory
- Journal of Economics
, 2000
"... We estimate a forward-looking monetary policy reaction function for the postwar United States economy, before and after Volcker’s appointment as Fed Chairman in 1979. Our results point to substantial differences in the estimated rule across periods. In particular, interest rate policy in the Volcker ..."

Using Maimonides’ Rule to Estimate the Effect of Class Size on Scholastic Achievement
- QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF ECONOMICS
, 1999
"... The twelfth century rabbinic scholar Maimonides proposed a maximum class size of 40. This same maximum induces a nonlinear and nonmonotonic relation-ship between grade enrollment and class size in Israeli public schools today. Maimonides’ rule of 40 is used here to construct instrumental variables e ..."

Mining Generalized Association Rules
, 1995
"... We introduce the problem of mining generalized association rules. Given a large database of transactions, where each transaction consists of a set of items, and a taxonomy (is-a hierarchy) on the items, we find associations between items at any level of the taxonomy. For example, given a taxonomy th ..."

Fast Effective Rule Induction
, 1995
"... Many existing rule learning systems are computationally expensive on large noisy datasets. In this paper we evaluate the recently-proposed rule learning algorithm IREP on a large and diverse collection of benchmark problems. We show that while IREP is extremely efficient, it frequently gives error r ..."

Fast Algorithms for Mining Association Rules
, 1994
"... We consider the problem of discovering association rules between items in a large database of sales transactions. We present two new algorithms for solving this problem that are fundamentally different from the known algorithms. Empirical evaluation shows that these algorithms outperform the known a ..."

Estimated Rules for Monetary Policy
"... Estimated policy rules describe how monetary policy has responded in the past to key economic indicators. Based on economic conditions and policy objectives, estimated rules can be used to evaluate past policy decisions and the outcomes of those decisions. In conjunction with “optimal ” rules that e ..."

A Simple Rule-Based Part of Speech Tagger
, 1992
"... Automatic part of speech tagging is an area of natural language processing where statistical techniques have been more successful than rule- based methods. In this paper, we present a sim- ple rule-based part of speech tagger which automatically acquires its rules and tags with accuracy coinparable ..."

Mining Association Rules between Sets of Items in Large Databases
- IN: PROCEEDINGS OF THE 1993 ACM SIGMOD INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON MANAGEMENT OF DATA, WASHINGTON DC (USA
, 1993
"... We are given a large database of customer transactions. Each transaction consists of items purchased by a customer in a visit. We present an efficient algorithm that generates all significant association rules between items in the database. The algorithm incorporates buffer management and novel esti ..."

Institutions Rule: The Primacy of Institutions over Geography and Integration in Economic Development
- Free University of Berlin
, 2004
"... We estimate the respective contributions of institutions, geography, and trade in determining income levels around the world, using recently developed instrumental variables for institutions and trade. Our results indicate that the quality of institutions “trumps ” everything else. Once institutions ..."

Very simple classification rules perform well on most commonly used datasets

"... The classification rules induced by machine learning systems are judged by two criteria: their classification accuracy on an independent test set (henceforth "accuracy"), and their complexity. The relationship between these two criteria is, of course, of keen interest to the machin ..."
