Density‐Valued ARMA Models by Spline Mixtures
ABSTRACT This paper proposes a novel framework for modeling time series of probability density functions by extending autoregressive moving average (ARMA) models to density‐valued data. The method is based on a transformation approach, wherein each density function on a compact domain [0,1]d$$ {\left[0,1\right]}^d $$ is approximated by a B‐spline ...

Aggregation and the Structure of Value
ABSTRACT Roughly, the view I call “Additivism” sums up value across time and people. Given some standard assumptions, I show that Additivism follows from two principles. The first says that how lives align in time cannot, in itself, matter. The second says, roughly, that a world cannot be better unless it is better within some period or another.

Semiparametric regression for circular response with application in ecology
ABSTRACT A regression model for a circular response variable depending on a linear or a circular predictor is presented in this paper. The conditional density belongs to a parametric flexible family that allows for asymmetry and varying peakedness around the modal direction.

Equivariant toric geometry and Euler–Maclaurin formulae
Abstract We first investigate torus‐equivariant motivic characteristic classes of toric varieties, and then apply them via the equivariant Riemann–Roch formalism to prove very general Euler–Maclaurin‐type formulae for full‐dimensional simple lattice polytopes.

A Bayesian Spatiotemporal Functional Model for Data With Block Structure and Repeated Measures
ABSTRACT The analysis of spatiotemporal data is fundamental across multiple scientific disciplines, particularly in assessing the behavior of climate effects over space and time. A key challenge in this area is effectively capturing recurring climate phenomena, such as El Niño/La Niña (ENSO) phases, which induce prolonged periods of similar weather ...

Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem with a Zone Tariff
ABSTRACT High demand and volume fluctuations, constrained transportation capacity, and weak network effects compel retailers to rely on external logistic service providers (LSPs) instead of operating their own transportation fleet. This outsourcing process requires retailers to propose tours to LSPs that then carry out the store deliveries.

Exploring Imprecise Probabilities in Quantum Algorithms with Possibility Theory
ABSTRACT Quantum computing utilizes the underlying principles of quantum mechanics to perform computations with unmatched performance capabilities. Rather than using classical bits, it operates on qubits, which can exist in superposition and entangled states. This enables the solution of problems that are considered intractable for classical computers.

The Functional Delta Method for Deriving Asymptotic Distributions
The distribution of the scaled difference between the plug‐in estimator Tθ̂n$$ T\left({\hat{\boldsymbol{\theta}}}_n\right) $$ and the true parameter Tθ0$$ T\left({\boldsymbol{\theta}}_0\right) $$ is approximated by the distribution of the scaled difference between θ̂n$$ {\hat{\boldsymbol{\theta}}}_n $$ and θ0$$ {\boldsymbol{\theta}}_0 $$ and a ...

ABSTRACT We study how foreign investors’ access to corporate information varies with pairwise geopolitical tensions between the investor's and investee's countries. Using a sample of 1,760 country‐pairs, we find that geopolitical tensions between a conference call host firm's country and a foreign country relate negatively with investor participation ...
