Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEvaluation of Subset Matching Methods: Evidence from a Monte Carlo Simulation StudyLateef Amusa, Temesgen Zewotir, Delia NorthIn the absence or infeasibility of experiments, matching methods have increasingly been used in making causal claims using observational data. This paper conducts a Monte Carlo simulation study, based on a household panel survey, to compare the performance of some widely used subset matching methods. The methods include the propensity score caliper matching, Mahalanobis distance matching, and coarsened exact matching. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 3 · 11 Apr 2019 · 7,740 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSome Statistical Solutions and Methods in Evaluation of Efficiency in Sport and Effectiveness in the Phenomenon of Sportsmen' TrainingGheorghe Săvoiu, Ion Iorga, Marian Creţu, Ion MihăilăProblem statement: A general method for evaluation of efficiency in sport and effectiveness in the phenomenon of sportsmen’s training was proposed. Approach: The method of four “E” was a frame method focused on communication and evaluation, where efficiency acquired an essential importance and its variation related to the initial programme, with its time or space details, respectively related to the … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 18 Jul 2011 · 7,878 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEvaluation of Common Maintenance Methods for Flexible PavementsAsma T. Ibraheem, Suda M. GaniProblem statement: With the increasing use and awareness of pavement management systems and the growing emphasis on asset management of pavement infrastructure, it is important to strengthen the maintenance components of these systems and particularly the preventive maintenance component. Iraqi Roads don’t receive an effective and proper maintenance during their service life until they reach the state of major failure … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 29 Nov 2011 · 7,859 accessesView PDFCite
