Difference-in-differences and matching on outcomes: a tale of two unobservables

S Lindner, KJ McConnell - Health Services and Outcomes Research …, 2019 - Springer
Difference-in-differences combined with matching on pre-treatment outcomes is a popular
method for addressing non-parallel trends between a treatment and control group. However …

Lengthening of the stargazin cytoplasmic tail increases synaptic transmission by promoting interaction to deeper domains of PSD-95

AS Hafner, AC Penn, D Grillo-Bosch, N Retailleau… - Neuron, 2015 - cell.com

The estimating function bootstrap

F Hu, JD Kalbfleisch - Canadian Journal of Statistics, 2000 - Wiley Online Library
The authors propose a bootstrap procedure which estimates the distribution of an estimating
function by resampling its terms using bootstrap techniques. Studentized versions of this so …

Hybrid resampling methods for confidence intervals

CS Chuang, TL Lai - Statistica Sinica, 2000 - JSTOR
This paper considers the problem of constructing confidence intervals for a single parameter
