Computing Skinning Weights via Convex Duality
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.We present an alternate optimization method to compute bounded biharmonic skinning weights. Our method relies on a dual formulation, which can be optimized with a nonnegative linear least squares setup. Abstract We study the problem of optimising for skinning weights through the lens of convex duality.

Unpacking the relationship between co‐creation and brand equity: A multi‐study approach
European Management Review, EarlyView.Abstract Whilst some studies have shown that co‐creation positively influences brand equity, others have found only marginal or even negative effects, and several failure cases of co‐creation have been reported. To overcome the confusion generated by mixed findings, this paper unpacks the relationship between co‐creation and brand equity, considering ...

Unconditional Variance Estimation Under Complex Surveys
International Statistical Review, EarlyView.Summary The unconditional framework treats the samples and the variables of interest as random variables. This is particularly suitable with analytic inference, when modelling survey data. We show that variance estimation does not involve finite population corrections and joint‐inclusion probabilities, even with large sampling fractions and under ...

Incentive and Signaling Effects of Bonus Payments: An Experiment in a Company
Journal of Economics &Management Strategy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Economists and management scholars have argued that the scope of incentives to increase cooperation in organizations is limited as their use may signal the prevalence of free‐riding among employees. This paper tests this hypothesis with an artefactual field experiment that assigns managers and employees from a large company to stylized roles ...

Kant on Bullshit Jobs—Mere Means and True Means
Journal of Social Philosophy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Following David Graeber's Bullshit Jobs, there has recently been academic and public discussion about useless work. Immanuel Kant maintains that we ought to be means for others and that there is a duty to be useful. Graeber and Kant are both concerned with a form of harm often overlooked in contemporary ethics and political philosophy, namely,

Journal of Time Series Analysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We propose a new formulation of the Vašičekmodel within the framework of functional data analysis. We treat observations (continuous‐time rates) within a suitably defined trading day as a single statistical object. We then consider a sequence of such objects, indexed by day.

On the Existence of One‐Sided Representations for the Generalised Dynamic Factor Model
Journal of Time Series Analysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We study the Generalised Dynamic Factor Model (GDFM) and show that the dynamic common component, that is, the common component of the GDFM, can be expressed using only current and past observations under mild assumptions. Specifically, we require (i) the dynamic common component to be purely non‐deterministic and (ii) the exclusion of ...
