Miners' Reward Elasticity and Stability of Competing Proof‐of‐Work Cryptocurrencies
ABSTRACT Proof‐of‐Work cryptocurrencies employ miners to sustain the system through algorithmic reward adjustments. We develop a stochastic model of the multicurrency mining and identify conditions for stable transaction speeds. Bitcoin's algorithm requires hash supply elasticity <$<$1 for stability, while ASERT remains stable for any elasticity and ...

Variance Matrix Priors for Dirichlet Process Mixture Models With Gaussian Kernels
Summary Bayesian mixture modelling is widely used for density estimation and clustering. The Dirichlet process mixture model (DPMM) is the most popular Bayesian non‐parametric mixture modelling approach. In this manuscript, we study the choice of prior for the variance or precision matrix when Gaussian kernels are adopted.

Handling Out‐of‐Sample Areas to Estimate the Unemployment Rate at Local Labour Market Areas in Italy
Summary Unemployment rate estimates for small areas are used to efficiently support the distribution of services and the allocation of resources, grants and funding. A Fay–Herriot type model is the most used tool to obtain these estimates. Under this approach out‐of‐sample areas require some synthetic estimates. As the geographical context is extremely

A Non‐Parametric Framework for Correlation Functions on Product Metric Spaces
Summary We propose a non‐parametric framework for analysing data defined over products of metric spaces, a versatile class encountered in various fields. This framework accommodates non‐stationarity and seasonality and is applicable to both local and global domains, such as the Earth's surface, as well as domains evolving over linear time or time ...

Conversational AI Agents: The Effect of Process and Outcome Variation on Anthropomorphism and Trust
ABSTRACT Organisations increasingly deploy conversational AI agents (CAs) in agentic roles where behavioural variations are inevitable. Prior work often conflates two distinct forms of variation: outcome variation (where success fluctuates) and process variation (where the path to completion varies).
