Mining parametric specifications
- in Proceedings of the 33rd International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE
, 2011
"... Mining formal specifications from program executions has numerous applications in software analysis, from program understanding and modeling to testing and bug detection. Parametric specifications carry parameters that are bound to concrete values at runtime. They are useful for specify-ing system b ..."

Programs, Proofs and Parametrized Specifications.
"... In a series of papers we have been using a modification of the ideas of Curry and Howard to obtain reliable programs from formal proofs. In this paper we extend our earlier work by presenting a new approach for constructing correct SML structures and SML functors from CASL structured and parametrize ..."

and parametrized specifications by extracting the SML programs from constructive proofs of the axioms of the specifications. We provide a novel formal calculus with rules corresponding to the construction and instantiation of parametrized specifications and then a program extraction procedure which produces SML
Semantics of First Order Parametric Specifications
"... Parametricity is one of the most effective ways to achieve compositionality and reuse in software development. Parametric specifications have been thoroughly analyzed in the algebraic setting and are by now a standard part of most software development toolkits. However, an effort towards classifying ..."

How much should we trust differences-in-differences estimates?
, 2003
"... Most papers that employ Differences-in-Differences estimation (DD) use many years of data and focus on serially correlated outcomes but ignore that the resulting standard errors are inconsistent. To illustrate the severity of this issue, we randomly generate placebo laws in state-level data on femal ..."

at the 5 percent level for up to 45 percent of the placebo interventions. We use Monte Carlo simulations to investigate how well existing methods help solve this problem. Econometric corrections that place a specific parametric form on the time-series process do not perform well. Bootstrap (taking
MIXED MNL MODELS FOR DISCRETE RESPONSE
- JOURNAL OF APPLIED ECONOMETRICS J. APPL. ECON. 15: 447--470 (2000)
, 2000
"... This paper considers mixed, or random coefficients, multinomial logit (MMNL) models for discrete response, and establishes the following results. Under mild regularity conditions, any discrete choice model derived from random utility maximization has choice probabilities that can be approximated as ..."

Practical estimation of a parametric mixing family can be carried out by Maximum Simulated Likelihood Estimation or Method of Simulated Moments, and easily computed instruments are provided that make the latter procedure fairly efficient. The adequacy of a mixing
Automatic verification of parametric specifications with complex topologies

, 2010
"... The focus of this paper is on reducing the complexity in verification by exploiting modularity at various levels: in specification, in verification, and structurally. For specifications, we use the modular language CSP-OZ-DC, which allows us to decouple verification tasks concerning data from thos ..."

Semi-Parametric Specification Tests for Discrete Probability Models
"... Loss functions play an important role in analyzing insurance portfolios. A fundamental issue in the study of loss functions involves the selection of probability models for claim frequencies. In this article, we propose a semiparametric approach based on the generalized method of moments (GMM) to so ..."

No specific parametric form is assumed for the distribution of the test statistics and a permutation procedure is used to estimate adjusted p-values. Several data displays are suggested for the visual identification of differentially
Active Perception

By modeling we mean models of sensors, processing modules and their interac-tion. We distinguish local models from global models by their extent of application in space and time. T ..."
