Generative models are commonly ranked by Fréchet Inception Distance (FID) and Kernel Inception Distance (KID), yet FID's first-two-moment summary can miss distributional differences, and a reported sc...
Detecting the number of global factors in high-dimensional correlation matrices is a central problem in multivariate statistics and random matrix theory, with important implications for asset pricing ...
We study a class of dynamically consistent risk measures that robustify a time-homogeneous Markovian reference model by allowing for distributional uncertainty in its transition laws. We start from on...
We investigate robust parameter estimation and testing procedure for multivariate diffusion processes observed at high frequency via the minimum density power divergence estimator (MDPDE). Within a ge...
We develop a nonparametric two-sample test for distributions supported on the cone of symmetric positive definite matrices. The procedure relies on the Wishart kernel density estimator (KDE) introduce...
Quantitative analysis of the kinematic chain in sports motion is essential for performance evaluation and injury prevention. Conventional methods such as the kinematic-sequence (KS) and continuous rel...
Modeling the dynamics of non-stationary stochastic systems requires balancing the representational power of deep learning with the mathematical transparency of classical models. While classical Markov...
A growing body of work establishes that large language models are not mere statistical memorizers, but are capable of in-context learning: performing inference at test time using only examples provide...
The Earth Mover's Distance (EMD) is gaining increasing interest among political scientists for assessing similarity in preference distributions. However, there remains a risk of finite-sample upward b...
This paper develops a difference-in-differences (DiD) estimation method that selects the optimal length of pre-trends by minimizing the mean squared error (MSE). Conventional DiD regression models, su...
Norway's electricity market is heavily dominated by hydropower, but the 2021--2022 energy crisis and stronger integration with Continental Europe have fundamentally altered price formation, reducing t...
This paper compares gradient boosting and long short-term memory (LSTM) architectures for intraday directional prediction in Micro E-Mini Nasdaq 100 futures (MNQ). Motivated by recent foundation-model...
Comparing two probability distributions is a basic building block of statistics and machine learning, and the right family is well understood: the Rényi divergences of order $α\in[0,\infty]$ are the u...
Clinical risk models routinely achieve strong aggregate performance while producing materially different error rates across patient subgroups. Audit pipelines have been proposed to catch this, but the...
To extend cognitive diagnostic models (CDMs) to longitudinal settings, stepwise approaches that integrate a CDM model with a latent transition model and covariates are widely used due to their flexibi...
The Hyperspace Analogue to Language (HAL) model relies on global word co-occurrence matrices to construct distributional semantic representations. While these representations capture lexical relations...
Two old market sayings hold that news is already priced in by the time it is published, and that the rumor is bought while the news is sold. Both place the price move associated with a piece of news b...
Surface temperature is a fundamental Essential Climate Variable, serving as a primary indicator of climate change and exerting a profound influence on ecosystems, agriculture, and human livelihoods. A...
Friend recommendation is inherently graph-structured: the relevance of a potential connection depends on multi-hop social context rather than user attributes alone. However, deploying message-passing ...
Tabular foundation models achieve strong accuracy on choice prediction tasks, but their predictions often violate the economic logic those tasks require: raising a price can increase predicted demand,...
