Causal Effect of Corporal Punishment on Children's Internalizing and Externalizing Behavioral Outcomes: Results from a Propensity Score Matching Analysis
… behaviors by using a Propensity Score Matching (PSM) analysis. This study uses data from waves 1 and 2 of the longitudinal cohort study of the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN), including 6, 9, 12, and 15 year old cohorts. Results reveal two major findings as …

Assessing The Biophysical Naturalness Of Grassland In Eastern North Dakota With Hyperspectral Imagery
… Coherence Estimator (ACE) was used for spectral matching analysis between the imagery and spectral libraries. Due in part to spectral similarity among key species, the results of spectral matching analysis were not definitive. Additional indexes, "Level of Dominance" and "Band variance", were …

Adaptive Extended Kalman Filtering Strategies for Autonomous Relative Navigation of Formation Flying Spacecraft
… fuzzy logic system based on a covariance-matching analysis of the filter residuals. Numerical simulations of three spacecraft formations are used to demonstrate that the proposed adaptive navigation algorithms are appreciably more robust to filter initialization errors, dynamics modelling …

Mapping trends: patterns of employment trajectories in the United States, 1967-2005.
… outside big firms, were compared by optimal matching analysis and cluster analysis. Accounting for gender, age period, and birth cohort, the distance of Americans’ career paths from the stable, full-time trajectories was found to be decreasing over time when careers were examined …

Electromagnetic and Quasi-Optical Analysis of Cavity Coupled Bolometers for Far-Infrared and Terahertz Receivers
… Python code, GAMMA (Generalised Absorber Mode Matching Analysis), was developed and applied to existing and proposed future systems. One of the main goals of GAMMA was to analyse the performance of the proposed multimode pixel for the SAFARI instrument on the next generation SPICA terahertz …

Statistical error compensation for robust digital signal processing and machine learning
… Markov random field (MRF) based stereo image matching. Analysis and simulations show that for a 20-bit architecture, small errors (eta <= 1024) are tolerable, while large errors (eta >= 4096) degrade the performance significantly. By applying algorithmic noise tolerance (ANT), experimental …
