A Bayes factor framework for unified parameter estimation and hypothesis testing
Abstract The Bayes factor, the data‐based updating factor of the prior to posterior odds of two hypotheses, is a natural measure of statistical evidence for one hypothesis over the other. We show how Bayes factors can also be used for parameter estimation.

On the Cauchy problem for a degenerate parabolic differential equation
The aim of this work is to prove the existence and the uniqueness of the solution of a degenerate parabolic equation. This is done using H. Tanabe and P.E. Sobolevsldi theory.

From tetrachoric to kappa: How to assess reliability on binary scales
Abstract Reliability is crucial in psychometrics, reflecting the extent to which a measurement instrument can discriminate between individuals or items. While classical test theory and intraclass correlation coefficients are well‐established for quantitative scales, estimating reliability for binary outcomes presents unique challenges due to their ...

Latent Poisson count models for action count data from technology‐enhanced assessments
Abstract Recent advances in computerized assessments have enabled the use of innovative item formats (e.g., drag‐and‐drop, scenario‐based), necessitating a flexible model that can capture systematic influence of item types on action counts. In this study, we present a refinement scheme that can explicitly model common features of items and allows ...

Real‐Time Conformal Maps and Parameterizations
Abstract We present a simple algorithm to conformally map between two simple and bounded planar domains based on the concept of harmonic measure, which is a conformal invariant. With suitable preprocessing, the algorithm is fast enough to compute all possible conformal maps (having three real degrees of freedom) between the two domains in real time in

Wave Tracing: Generalizing The Path Integral To Wave Optics
Abstract Modeling the wave nature of light and the propagation and diffraction of electromagnetic fields is crucial for the accurate simulation of many phenomena, yet wave simulations are significantly more computationally complex than classical ray‐based models.

Fast Injective Mesh Parameterization via Beltrami Coefficient Prolongation
Abstract We present a highly efficient and robust method for free boundary injective parameterization of disk‐like triangle meshes with low isometric distortion. Harmonic function–based approaches, grounded in a strong mathematical framework, are widely employed.

Closed‐Form Optimal Investment Under Generalized GARCH Models
ABSTRACT This paper introduces a new class of stochastic volatility models for asset prices, the generalized Heston Nandi GARCH (GHN‐GARCH), with the primary objective of optimal dynamic asset allocation under expected utility theory for constant relative risk aversion investors. We study some of its theoretical properties, and demonstrate that the GHN‐
