TLDR
The comparison of two treatments generally falls into one of the following two categories: (a) a number of replications for each of the two treatments, which are unpaired, or (b) we may have a series of paired comparisons, some of which may be positive and some negative as mentioned in this paper.Abstract:
The comparison of two treatments generally falls into one of the following two categories: (a) we may have a number of replications for each of the two treatments, which are unpaired, or (b) we may have a number of paired comparisons leading to a series of differences, some of which may be positive and some negative. The appropriate methods for testing the significance of the differences of the means in these two cases are described in most of the textbooks on statistical methods.read more

Reconsidering the broken homes/delinquency relationship and exploring its mediating mechanism(s)
TL;DR: The authors found that divorce/separation early in the life course may be more strongly related to delinquency than prior research implies and that remarriage during adolescence may be strongly associated with status offending.

API method recommendation without worrying about the task-API knowledge gap
TL;DR: An API recommendation approach named BIKER (Bi-Information source based KnowledgE Recommendation) to tackle the lexical gap and knowledge gap between the natural language description of the programming task and the API description in API documentation is proposed.
