Normalization of deviance in neuromodulation for epilepsy
Abstract The rapid expansion of neuromodulation therapies for drug resistant epilepsy has introduced a growing risk of normalization of deviance (NoD).

Specification Tests for Jump‐Diffusion Models Based on the Characteristic Function

The suggested test statistics utilise the marginal characteristic function of the model and its L2‐type discrepancy from an empirical counterpart. Model parameters are estimated either by minimising the aforementioned L2‐type discrepancy or by maximum likelihood ...
