DOES PAIR-MATCHING ON ORDERED BASELINE MEASURES INCREASE POWER: A SIMULATION STUDY
It has been shown that pair-matching on an ordered baseline with normally distributed measures reduces the variance of the estimated treatment effect (Park and Johnson, 2006). The main objective of this study is to examine if pair-matching improves the power when the distribution is a mixture of …

Algorithms for efficiently and effectively matching agents in microsimulations of sexually transmitted infections
… heterogeneous sexual behaviour. This requires pairing individuals, or agents, into sexual partnerships whose distribution matches that of the population being studied, to the extent this is known. But pair-matching is computationally expensive. There is a need for computer algorithms that …

VIRTUAL ANTHROPOLOGY AND COMMINGLED SKELETAL REMAINS. RESOURCES AND POTENTIAL FOR PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION IN HUMANITARIAN FORENSIC CONTEXTS
… association of commingled bones, i.e., the joint-matching and the pair-matching, resulting in four research lines. The 3D models were produced with several acquisition techniques (laser scanning, sterephotogrammetry, segmentation and surface scanning) from bones of the CAL (Collezione …

Multivariate asymmetry and allometry in human limb bones as a basis for osteometric sorting
… Second, an automated method for osteometric pair-matching using bilateral limb asymmetry is produced and evaluated. Multiple trials are conducted comparing the diagnostic abilities of this method against previous pair-matching algorithms. The results from the new method show an improvement in …

Asymmetry of the humerus: The influence of handedness on the deltoid tuberosity and possible implications for osteometric sorting
… method. The osteometric sorting formulae for pair-matching was used to classify individuals as asymmetric when elements were considered significantly different in size. Significant asymmetry was seen in multiple measurements and the asymmetry could be due to handedness. This relationship …

Causes and predictors of thematic intrusion on human similarity judgments
… response type. It was also found that taxonomic pair matching reliably increased across the time course of the task. Changes in the properties of the task and the instructions attenuate the effect, suggesting that the intrusion of thematic relationships on similarity judgments is not an …

Essays on complexity and causality in political science research
… of interest when there is only a small amount of pairwise interactions among the covariates and their coverage rates significantly decrease when there is an interaction between within treatment unit network cascading and the intervention of interest. As a result, this paper provides new insights …
