Non‐negative Gaussian estimation of variance components in random effects models
Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract When used to estimate variance components (VCs), confidence intervals (CIs) can be truncated at zero, have a point estimate not in the quoted CI, be empty with positive probability, or be all‐inclusive. This is because they have conflicting dual roles, since they are considered to cover the parameter with a specified probability while also ...

From Custom to Court: The Evolution of Mediation in European Legal Systems
Conflict Resolution Quarterly, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article traces how European mediation has repeatedly rebalanced three variables—(1) the source of mediator authority, (2) the degree of institutionalization, and (3) the operative meaning of voluntariness—from antiquity to the present. Using three periods—Proto‐Mediation (c. 500 BCE–c. 1750), Classical Mediation (c.

The Mabuchi Geometry of Finite Energy Classes [PDF]
, 2014 We introduce different Finsler metrics on the space of smooth K\"ahler potentials that will induce a natural geometry on various finite energy classes $\mathcal E_{\tilde \chi}(X,\omega)$. Motivated by questions raised by R. Berman, V.

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The growing complexity and severity of cross‐border climate risks characterised by non‐linear impact chains and deep uncertainty questions the capacity of environmental governance to tackle these problems effectively and in a just manner. To increase the efficiency of climate action, the private sector has been called upon to leverage market ...

International Journal of Health Policy and Management, 2014 In his insightful editorial, Nir Eyal explores the connections between nudging and shaming. One upshot of his argument is that we should question the principle of the least restrictive alternative in public health and health policy. In this commentary, I

General Relativistic Singularity-Free Cosmological Model
, 2009 We "explain", using a Classical approach, how the Universe was created out of "nothing", i.e., with no input of initial energy nor mass. The inflationary phase, with exponential expansion, is accounted for, automatically, by our equation of state for the

Estimating Interaction Effects With Panel Data
Journal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper analyzes how interaction effects can be consistently estimated under economically plausible assumptions in linear panel models with a fixed T$$ T $$‐dimension. We advocate for a correlated interaction term effects (CITE) estimator and show that it is consistent under conditions that are not sufficient for consistency of the ...
