Repelled Point Processes With Application to Numerical Integration
Scandinavian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.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
Scandinavian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.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
Swiss Political Science Review, EarlyView.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 ...

Balance and Baselines: An Impossibility Theorem and an Axiomatisation of Additive Aggregation
Journal of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis, Volume 33, Issue 2, August 2026.ABSTRACT A feature in many multicriteria problems is a preference for ‘balance’, understood as achieving a desired distribution (e.g., equality or target proportions) of resources across stakeholders or conceptual categories. This paper presents a normative exploration of the implications of balance preferences when baselines are uncertain or contested.

Detecting When One Probe Vector is Enough for Preconditioned Log‐Determinant Approximation
Numerical Linear Algebra with Applications, Volume 33, Issue 4, August 2026.ABSTRACT We present randomized algorithms for estimating the log‐determinant of regularized symmetric positive semi‐definite matrices. The algorithms access the matrix only through matrix vector products, and are based on the introduction of a preconditioner and stochastic trace estimator.

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, Volume 36, Issue 12, Page 6047-6067, August 2026.ABSTRACT In this work, a new event‐triggered adaptive first‐order sliding mode control method is proposed for nonlinear systems with constant time delays, modeled by interval type‐2 Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy systems. To handle matched disturbances with unknown upper bounds, a non‐overestimating adaptation strategy for the control coefficient is ...
