Regularization Adjusted Local Average Treatment Estimation for Regression Discontinuity Designs The regression discontinuity design is one of the most popular and credible methods available for causal inference with observational data. Estimation of local average treatment effects in RDDs are typically based on local linear regressions using the outcome variable, a treatment assignment variable, and a continuous running variable.…

Recent developments for analyzing droplet-based single cell transcriptomic data Single cell transcriptome sequencing (scRNA-Seq) has become a revolutionary tool to study cellular and molecular processes. The newly developed droplet-based technologies enable efficient parallel processing of thousands of single cells with direct counting of transcript copies using Unique Molecular Identifier (UMI). Despite the rapid technology advance,…
