A spectral analysis extension to DEMATEL for strategic leverage points identification
Abstract Efforts to intervene in complex systems often emphasize influential factors, yet system behavior is equally shaped by the relationships among them. Methods such as Decision‐Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) map causal structures but remain descriptive and do not identify which relationships provide the greatest leverage for ...

Assessing second‐price auctions for parcel exchanges in last‐mile logistics
Abstract The rapid growth of e‐commerce has led to multiple carriers operating in the same regions, creating opportunities for collaboration. However, logistics companies typically operate independently, leading to inefficiencies. Horizontal cooperation, where carriers share resources and infrastructure, can improve efficiency and reduce costs.

Evidence Gathering Under Competitive and Noncompetitive Rewards
ABSTRACT Reward schemes may affect not only agents' effort but also their incentives to gather information in order to reduce the riskiness of the productive activity. In a laboratory experiment using a novel task, we find that the relationship between incentives and evidence gathering depends critically on the availability of information about peers ...

Adaptive Estimation for Weakly Dependent Functional Times Series
ABSTRACT We propose adaptive mean and autocovariance function estimators for stationary functional time series under 𝕃p−m‐approximability assumptions. These estimators are designed to adapt to the regularity of the curves and to accommodate both sparse and dense data designs.

The Accuracy Smoothness Dilemma in Prediction: A Novel Multivariate M‐SSA Forecast Approach
ABSTRACT Forecasting presents a complex estimation challenge, as it involves balancing multiple, often conflicting, priorities and objectives. Conventional forecast optimization methods typically emphasize a single metric, such as minimizing the mean squared error (MSE), which may neglect other crucial aspects of predictive performance. To address this

Multiple Chains Markov Switching Vector Autoregression
ABSTRACT Both the U.S. stock and bond returns exhibit distinct Markovian regimes. However, because these regimes display limited coherence, conventional models typically require highly parameterized systems to adequately capture their joint distribution.

Penalized Convex Estimation in Dynamic Location Models
ABSTRACT This paper studies L1$$ {L}^1 $$‐penalized estimation for location models yt=mt+ϵt$$ {y}_t={m}_t+{\epsilon}_t $$, where mt$$ {m}_t $$ is defined by a possibly non‐Markovian recursion and ϵt$$ {\epsilon}_t $$ is a martingale difference sequence with possibly time‐varying conditional variance.

Sparse Causal Dynamic Linear Regression
ABSTRACT We develop a sparse causal dynamic regression framework for long multivariate time series. With very long time series, the potentially large number of lags and leads in a dynamic regression model often makes time‐domain estimation numerically unstable or intractable.

Abstract Measurement of interactional competence (IC) has attracted increasing interest in language assessment research. One key question is whether proficiency sufficiently accounts for IC, making separate IC assessment unnecessary. This study examines the IC–proficiency relationship using a test that assesses Chinese speakers’ ability to manage ...

Measure‐valued processes for energy markets
Abstract We introduce a framework that allows to employ (non‐negative) measure‐valued processes for energy market modeling, in particular for electricity and gas futures. Interpreting the process' spatial structure as time to maturity, we show how the Heath–Jarrow–Morton approach can be translated to this framework, thus guaranteeing arbitrage free ...
