ABSTRACT For adolescents with emotional problems, internet use can provide coping strategies. These can be maladaptive (e.g., excessive use) or adaptive (e.g., engaging in social online activities). However, little is known about the mechanisms underlying both positive and negative outcomes.

Repelled Point Processes With Application to Numerical Integration
ABSTRACT We look at Monte Carlo numerical integration from a stochastic geometry point of view. While crude Monte Carlo estimators relate to linear statistics of a homogeneous Poisson point process (PPP), linear statistics of more regularly spread point processes can yield unbiased estimators with faster‐decaying variance, and thus lower integration ...

Bayesian Inference for Multivariate Monotone Densities
ABSTRACT We consider a nonparametric Bayesian approach to estimation and testing for a multivariate monotone density. Instead of following the conventional Bayesian approach of imposing a prior that satisfies the monotonicity restriction, we place a prior on the step heights via binning and a Dirichlet distribution. The resulting posterior distribution

Poverty Attributions and Voting Choices in the 2023 Swiss National Elections
Abstract Is poverty a relevant issue for Swiss electoral politics and political behavior? In this paper we answer that question by showing that citizens’ agreement with different causal attributions of poverty matters for their voting decisions. Of highest relevance is the difference between an “individual blame” explanation (i.e., the poor are lazy ...

The Mystery of Success: How Family Background Shapes Social Mobility
ABSTRACT This study examines social mobility and its underlying drivers in Switzerland. We use a rich administrative dataset covering nearly 700,000 individuals across 23 birth cohorts. Rather than relying on traditional parent–child associations, we quantify the overall influence of familial factors, providing a wide‐ranging indicator of social ...

Measured‐State Conditioned Recursive Feasibility for Stochastic Model Predictive Control
ABSTRACT In this paper, we address the problem of designing stochastic model predictive control (SMPC) schemes for linear systems affected by unbounded disturbances. The contribution of the paper is rooted in a measured‐state initialization strategy. First, due to the nonzero probability of violating chance‐constraints in the case of unbounded noise ...
