Coherent Forecasting of Realized Volatility

Journal of Forecasting, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The QLIKE loss function is the stylized favorite of the literature on volatility forecasting when it comes to out‐of‐sample evaluation and the state of the art model for realized volatility (RV) forecasting is the HAR model, which minimizes the squared error loss for in‐sample estimation of the parameters.

Wild Animal Suffering Is Not Intractable: A Precautionary Approach to Compassionate Intervention

Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wild animals suffer due to human activity, yet natural factors contribute far more significantly to their suffering. In light of this, some propose that we have a pro tanto obligation to intervene in ecosystems to improve wild animal welfare.

The spatial ecology of free-ranging domestic pigs (Sus scrofa) in western Kenya [PDF]

, 2013
Background In many parts of the developing world, pigs are kept under low-input systems where they roam freely to scavenge food. These systems allow poor farmers the opportunity to enter into livestock keeping without large capital investments.

Using expert elicitation to predict feral cat, Felis catus, responses to management

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
We generated estimates of lethal feral cat management success for 864 scenarios, only 71 lethal management scenarios met a population reduction target of 57%. Cat‐targeted poison baits, in dry conditions and arid areas were most successful. Feral cat management requires continued adaptive strategies to reduce cat impacts.

Ranging characteristics of the domestic cat (Felis catus) in an urban environment [PDF]

, 2014
In many countries, high densities of domestic cats (Felis catus) are found in urban habitats where they have the potential to exert considerable predation pressure on their prey. However, little is known of the ranging behaviour of cats in the UK. Twenty
