With a strong focus on practical applications, the authors explore various strategies for employing PSA. In addition, they discuss the use of PSA with alternative types of data and limitations of PSA under a variety of constraints. Unlike the existing textbooks on program evaluation and causal inference, Propensity Score Analysis delves into statistical concepts, formulas, and models in the context of a robust and engaging focus on application.
Statistics is made simple with this award-winning guide to using R and applied statistical methods. With a clear step-by-step approach explained using real world examples, learn the practical skills you need to use statistical methods in your research from an expert with over 30 years of teaching experience. With a wealth of hands-on exercises and online resources, practice your skills using the data sets and R scripts from the book with handy screencasts to accompany you. This book is ideal for anyone looking to: * Complete an introductory course in statistics * Prepare for more advanced statistical courses * Gain the transferable analytical skills needed to interpret research from across the social sciences * Learn the technical skills needed to present data visually * Acquire a basic competence in the use of R.

This book introduces the mathematical ideas connecting Statistical Mechanics and Conformal Field Theory (CFT). Building advanced structures on top of more elementary ones, the authors map out a well-posed road from simple lattice models to CFTs. Structured in two parts, the book begins by exploring several two-dimensional lattice models, their ......
Statistical Design and Analysis of Experiments embraces a holistic approach by building a solid foundation of the theoretical aspects followed by easily relatable numerical examples. Examples are first worked out manually and explained step-by-step, after which the statistical software Minitab is demonstrated throughout the textbook. This novel ......
We develop a theory of average sizes of kernels of generic matrices with support constraints defined in terms of graphs and hypergraphs. We apply this theory to study unipotent groups associated with graphs. In particular, we establish strong uniformity results pertaining to zeta functions enumerating conjugacy classes of these groups. We deduce ......
The Lorentz gas is one of the simplest and most widely-studied models for particle transport in matter. It describes a cloud of non-interacting gas particles in an infinitely extended array of identical spherical scatterers. The model was introduced by Lorentz in 1905 who, following the pioneering ideas of Maxwell and Boltzmann, postulated that in ......
It is a longstanding unsolved problem to characterize the optimal feedbacks for general SLQs (i.e., stochastic linear quadratic control problems) with random coefficients in infinite dimensions; while the same problem but in finite dimensions was just addressed very recently. This paper is devoted to giving a solution to this problem under some ......
