Sales, Adam C.; Hansen, Ben B. – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2020
Conventionally, regression discontinuity analysis contrasts a univariate regression's limits as its independent variable, "R," approaches a cut point, "c," from either side. Alternative methods target the average treatment effect in a small region around "c," at the cost of an assumption that treatment assignment,…

Gongjun Xu; Tony Sit; Lan Wang; Chiung-Yu Huang – Grantee Submission, 2017
Biased sampling occurs frequently in economics, epidemiology, and medical studies either by design or due to data collecting mechanism. Failing to take into account the sampling bias usually leads to incorrect inference. We propose a unified estimation procedure and a computationally fast resampling method to make statistical inference for…

Buchanan, Taylor L.; Lohse, Keith R. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2016
We surveyed researchers in the health and exercise sciences to explore different areas and magnitudes of bias in researchers' decision making. Participants were presented with scenarios (testing a central hypothesis with p = 0.06 or p = 0.04) in a random order and surveyed about what they would do in each scenario. Participants showed significant…
