Sparse Estimators and the Oracle Property, or the Return of Hodges' Estimator
We point out some pitfalls related to the concept of an oracle property as used in Fan and Li (2001, 2002, 2004) which are reminiscent of the well-known pitfalls related to Hodges' estimator.

Measurability of functionals and of ideal point forecasts
The ideal probabilistic forecast for a random variable $Y$ based on an information set $\mathcal{F}$ is the conditional distribution of $Y$ given $\mathcal{F}$.

Economic forecasting demands precision. Yet traditional models often stumble when confronted with real-world complexity – the messy interplay of linear trends, non-linear disruptions and seasonal fluctuations that characterize financial time series. This

Model selection in regression under structural constraints
The paper considers model selection in regression under the additional structural constraints on admissible models where the number of potential predictors might be even larger than the available sample size.

A note on the scalar Haffian [PDF]
In this note a uniform transparent presentation of the scalar Haffian will be given. Some well-known results will be generalized. A link will be established between the scalar Haffian and the derivative matrix as developed by Magnus and ...

Current philosophical perspectives on drug approval in the real world
The evidence-based medicine approach to causal medical inference is the dominant account among medical methodologists. Competing approaches originating in the philosophy of medicine seek to challenge this account.

Estimating the mean function of a Gaussian process and the Stein effect [PDF]
The problem of global estimation of the mean function [theta](·) of a quite arbitrary Gaussian process is considered. The loss function in estimating [theta] by a function a(·) is assumed to be of the form L([theta], a) = [integral operator] [[theta](t)
