However, the estimation of treatment effects associated with the tests may not be obvious, especially under the covariate adjustment. In this article, we evaluated the effect of covariate adjustment on estimating treatment effects based on the Wilcoxon Rank Sum test, the van Elteren test, aligned rank test, and Jaeckel, Hettmansperger-McKean test through Monte Carlo simulations via mean square error and coverage probability. Based on the simulation, commonly used ANCOVA-based approach do not have good estimation of treatment effect when the covariate imbalance is severe.

In this paper, we propose a point-free axiomatization of geometry taking into account not only the logical value of this approach but also, for the first time, its educational potentialities. We introduce primitive entities and axioms, as a sort of theoretical guise that is grafted onto intuition, looking at the educational value of the deriving theory. In our approach the notions of convexity and half-planes play a crucial role. Indeed, starting from the Boolean algebra of regular closed subsets of ℝn , representing, in an excellent natural way, the idea of region, we introduce an n-dimensional prototype of point-free geometry by using the primitive notion of convexity. This enable us to define Re-half-planes, Re-lines, Re-points, polygons, and to introduce axioms making not only meaningful all the given definitions but also providing adequate tools from a didactic point of view. The result is a theory, or a seed of theory, suitable to improve the teaching and the learning of geometry.","PeriodicalId":92618,"journal":{"name":"Cogent mathematics & statistics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/25742558.2020.1761001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45152127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
