The Productivity Effect of Public–Private Partnership

open access: yesThe Journal of Industrial Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Public–Private partnerships (PPPs) are often employed by public authorities to deliver infrastructure and public services through contracts bundling construction, operation, and maintenance over extended periods. Using a novel dataset covering the universe of Italian district heating plants (DHs) from 2007 to 2014, I show that PPP improves ...

Sleep Slow Wave‐Bistability and the Connection Between the Sleeping Brain and the Environment—Neurobiological Considerations

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
Bistability is an inherent working mode of NREM sleep. Those bistable patterns ‐ sleep slow waves, K‐complexes, and the cyclic alternating pattern (on a longer, several seconds' time‐scale) ‐ have a double function; they protect sleep and provide an interface between the brain and the environment for information‐transfer during sleep.

mixFOCuS: A Communication‐Efficient Online Changepoint Detection Method in Distributed System for Mixed‐Type Data

open access: yesJournal of Time Series Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT With the advent of the Internet of Things, it is increasingly common to have large networks of sensors, where each sensor may collect different types of data, has limited local computing resources and the ability to transmit data to a central cloud. Detecting events that trigger changes in sensor data properties is a key concern.

Adaptive Estimation for Weakly Dependent Functional Times Series

open access: yesJournal of Time Series Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We propose adaptive mean and autocovariance function estimators for stationary functional time series under 𝕃p−m‐approximability assumptions. These estimators are designed to adapt to the regularity of the curves and to accommodate both sparse and dense data designs.

Sequential Outlier Detection in Nonstationary Time Series

open access: yesJournal of Time Series Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A novel method for sequential outlier detection in nonstationary time series is proposed. The method tests the null hypothesis of “no outlier” at each time point, addressing the multiple testing problem by bounding the error probability of successive tests, using extreme‐value theory. The asymptotic properties of the test statistic are studied
