Fixed Effect Instrumental Variable Regression in R: A Comparative Analysis of plm and estimatr Packages
Fixed Effect, Instrumental Variable Regression like xtivreg in Stata (FE IV Regression) Fixed effect, instrumental variable regression is a statistical technique used to estimate the causal effect of an independent variable on a dependent variable while controlling for individual-specific effects and the presence of instrumental variables. In this blog post, we will explore how to perform fixed effect, instrumental variable regression using R packages similar to xtivreg in Stata. Background xtivreg is a command in Stata that allows users to estimate fixed effect models with instrumental variables.

Optimizing Memory Usage in iOS Apps: Lazy Loading Images with CALayer
Based on the provided code and explanation, here’s a summary of the steps to optimize memory usage: Wrap the content inside an @autoreleasepool block: This will help to automatically release the objects created within the scope of the block when it is exited. Lazily load images: Instead of loading all images upfront, create a subclass of CALayer that loads the image when it is displayed. Implement drawInContext: in this subclass to handle the image loading and drawing.

Improving Traffic Distribution Across Customer Groups by Day Using Sampling with Replacement.
Understanding the Problem The problem at hand is to randomly assign individuals from a dataset into three groups according to a fixed daily percentage. The requirement is that the overall traffic percentage should be 10% for Group A, 45% for Group B, and 45% for Group C. However, when we try to apply this logic to individual days, the group assignments do not meet the required distribution. Problem Statement Given a sample dataset with dates and customer IDs, we want to create three groups according to a fixed daily percentage of 10%, 45%, and 45%.

Comparing DataFrames Columns Based on Ids Using Pandas in Python
Comparing DataFrames Columns Based on Ids In this article, we will explore the process of comparing columns in two dataframes based on their ids. We will use Python and its popular libraries Pandas to achieve this. Introduction When working with data, it is often necessary to compare data from different sources or transformations. In our case, we have an input dataframe and an output dataframe that contain the same dataset but are transformed differently.
