Optimized and Aligned Anisotropic Monte Carlo Sampling Patterns

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Path tracing uses Monte Carlo integration to solve the rendering equation by evaluating the integrand at random sampling points. The convergence rate of the error can be significantly improved by using correlated instead of random sampling, especially on smooth integrands.

A Splitting Architecture for Exact Reduced Coulomb Friction

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Existing approaches to frictional contact dynamics typically either modify the Coulomb law to improve numerical robustness or solve the exact law in a fully coupled monolithic form. However, in its reduced form, exact Coulomb friction can be written as a cone complementarity problem with an augmented velocity, which reveals a natural split ...

Creative‐class dynamics, technological evolution and growth

open access: yesEconomica, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper investigates the impact of creativity on technological advancement, long‐term economic development, and social welfare, where creativity is determined endogenously through interactions within social networks. The analysis shows that an economy remains stagnant, exhibiting neither networking nor long‐term growth, when the size of the

The Augmented Hat‐Matrix of Hierarchical Generalised Linear Models and Its Use in Leverage Diagnostics

open access: yesInternational Statistical Review, EarlyView.
Summary Defining a ‘hat‐matrix’ for a model is essential in many model diagnostic procedures, as it acts as an orthogonal projector from the observation space to the model space. In this paper, we introduce a unique Hat‐matrix for the class of hierarchical generalised linear models (HGLMs), which includes, as a special case, the subclass of generalised

The Cost of Convenience: A Hedonic Approach to Travel Time Valuation and Cost‐Benefit Analysis

open access: yesJournal of Regional Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents a novel revealed‐preference approach to estimating the value of travel time (VTT) and calculating consumer surplus for the economic evaluation of transport infrastructure. Departing from traditional stated‐preference models, we derive time valuations by linking residential rental transactions in Greater Sydney to employment
