On a preference-based instrumental variable approach in reducing unmeasured confounding-by-indication
2014
Statistics in Medicine
The bias formula shows that when the cluster size is finite, the IV estimator is asymptotically biased; only when both the number of groups and cluster size go to infinity, the bias disappears. ...
We then derive a closed-form expression of asymptotic bias of the two-stage generalized ordinary least squares estimator when the IVs are valid. ...
Even when IV is valid, an important finding in our bias analysis is that the 2SGLS IV estimator is usually asymptotically biased when the number of clusters goes to infinity but the cluster size is finite ...

What to expect from dynamical modelling of cluster haloes II. Investigating dynamical state indicators with Random Forest
[article]
2022
arXiv
pre-print
Without a selection in DS, cluster halos have an asymmetric distribution in η, corresponding to an overall positive half-mass bias. ...
We investigate the importances of various dynamical features in predicting the dynamical state (DS) of galaxy clusters, based on the Random Forest (RF) machine learning approach. ...
no selection to dynamical states are made, dynamical modelling of cluster halos tend to be biased towards a higher mass at the tracer median radius. ...

The Teerikorpi incompleteness bias in the distance modulus of a galaxy cluster that is determined from incomplete data using the Tully-Fisher (TF) method is discussed differently than has been done in ...
A toy cluster is made with zero intrinsic TF dispersion but with slopes that differ between the calibrators and the cluster data, showing the bias caused by incorrect slopes. ...

Against the Grain? Assessing Graduate Labour Market Trends in Germany Through a Task-Based Indicator of Graduate Jobs
2018
Social Indicators Research
It is supplied in the appendix of this study. Despite the expansion of higher educational attainment between 1999 and 2012, my analysis indicates a rising excess demand for graduate labour. ...
To do so, it deploys a new statistically derived indicator of graduate jobs, based on job skill requirements obtained from worker-reported task data in the German Employment Surveys 2006 and 2012. ...
Neither the derived indicator nor the analysis are free from limitations. Although the approach classifies occupations at a low level of aggregation, skill levels may differ within occupations. ...

In four galaxies, the red-giant branch is sufficiently well populated to measure the magnitude of the tip of the red-giant branch (TRGB), a well-known distance indicator. ...
Using both the Sobel edge-detection technique and maximum-likelihood analysis to measure the I-band magnitude of the red giant branch tip, we determine distances to four nearby galaxies: NGC 253, NGC 4244 ...
