Variable selection via knockoffs for clustered data

Silvia Bacci, Leonardo Grilli, Carla Rampichini

We extend the knockoffs method for selecting predictors to clustered data (cross-sectional or repeated measures). In the setting of clustered data, variable selection is complex be…

Conditioning on the pre-test versus gain score modeling: revisiting the controversy in a multilevel setting

Bruno Arpino, Silvia Bacci, Leonardo Grilli +2

We consider estimating the effect of a treatment on the progress of subjects tested both before and after treatment assignment. A vast literature compares the competing approaches…

Funnel plots for visualizing uncertainty in the research performance of institutions

Giovanni Abramo, Ciriaco Andrea D'Angelo, Leonardo Grilli

Research performance values are not certain. Performance indexes should therefore be accompanied by uncertainty measures, to establish whether the performance of a unit is truly ou…
