Distributed k‐WTA Network for Multi‐Manipulator Competition With Experimental Verifications
ABSTRACT In this article, a new distributed k $k$‐winner‐take‐all (Dk $k$‐WTA) network is designed and used to construct a dynamic allocation scheme for competitive coordination tasks of multiple manipulators as embodied agents. The scheme is constructed based on the following two aspects. On one hand, with reference to a perspective that the Laplacian

We study the effects of heat and high temperature shocks on inflation in Australia using monthly, state‐level temperature anomaly data via two stages. In the first stage, we decompose temperature anomalies into orthogonal components using a structural vector autoregression with long‐run restrictions.

Unraveling authoritarian reform decision‐making: A metacognitive–subcognitive model
Abstract Recent research indicates that state reforms in East and Southeast Asia have been predominantly top‐down and authoritarian‐led. However, this significant observation implicitly relies on important assumptions about authoritarian decision‐making behavior and psychology that remains understudied.

A tutorial for understanding SEM using R: Where do all the numbers come from?
Abstract Structural equation modeling (SEM) is often seen as a complex and difficult method, especially for those who want to understand how the numbers in SEM software output are actually computed. Although many open‐source SEM tools are now available—especially in the R programming environment—looking into their source code to understand the ...

Jacobian-Aware Posterior Sampling for Inverse Problems
Diffusion models provide powerful generative priors for solving inverse problems by sampling from a posterior distribution conditioned on corrupted measurements. Existing methods primarily follow two paradigms: direct methods, which approximate the likelihood term, and proximal methods, which incorporate intermediate solutions satisfying measurement ...

An extension of the basic local independence model to multiple observed classifications
Abstract The basic local independence model (BLIM) is appropriate in situations where populations do not differ in the probabilities of the knowledge states and the probabilities of careless errors and lucky guesses of the items. In some situations, this is not the case. This work introduces the multiple observed classification local independence model

Assessing the role of spatial externalities in the survival of Italian innovative startups
Abstract The paper provides novel empirical evidence about the effects of spatial externalities on the survival of innovative startups in Italy. Using geocoded firm‐level data, we build micro‐geographic measures of specialization and diversity that are robust to the modifiable areal unit problem.

Bias and precision in true‐score estimation
Abstract We discuss two approaches to estimating the true score from classical test theory, each with a corresponding measure of uncertainty due to measurement error: the classical method with the standard error of measurement (SEM) and Kelley's method with the standard error of estimation (SEE).

New estimation methods for diagnostic classification models
Abstract This paper introduces a new class of estimators for cognitive diagnosis models (CDMs) based on the Cressie–Read family of ϕ$$ \phi $$‐divergences. Focusing on the loglinear CDM (LCDM), for which joint maximum likelihood estimation (JMLE) has been shown to be consistent, we propose a joint minimum divergence estimation (JMDE) framework.

Calibrating Bayesian inference
Abstract Bayesian statistics has gained popularity in psychological research due to its intuitive uncertainty quantification and convenient information‐updating rules. In many applications, however, prior distributions are introduced merely as instruments to facilitate computation, rather than as representations of genuine subjective belief ...
