Robust Bernoulli Mixture Models for Credit Portfolio Risk
ABSTRACT This paper presents comparison results and establishes risk bounds for credit portfolios within classes of Bernoulli mixture models, assuming conditionally independent defaults that are stochastically increasing in a common risk factor. We provide simple and interpretable conditions on conditional default probabilities that imply a comparison ...

Reinforcement Learning for Jump‐Diffusions, With Financial Applications
ABSTRACT We study continuous‐time reinforcement learning (RL) for stochastic control in which system dynamics are governed by jump‐diffusion processes. We formulate an entropy‐regularized exploratory control problem with stochastic policies to capture the exploration–exploitation balance essential for RL.

Never, Ever Getting Started: On Prospect Theory Without Commitment
ABSTRACT Prospect theory is arguably the most prominent alternative to expected utility theory. We study the investment or gambling behavior of a prospect theory decision maker who is aware of his time‐inconsistency but lacks commitment. For the empirically relevant prospect theory specifications, we obtain the extreme prediction that such a decision ...

ABSTRACT This study develops a novel multivariate stochastic framework for assessing systemic risks, such as climate and nature‐related shocks, within production or financial networks. By embedding a linear stochastic fluid network, interpretable as a generalized vector Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process, into the production network of interdependent ...

Random Carbon Tax Policy and Investment Into Emission Abatement Technologies
ABSTRACT We analyze the problem of a profit‐maximizing electricity producer, subject to carbon taxes, who decides on investments into CO2$\rm CO_2$ abatement technologies. We assume that the carbon tax policy is random and that the investment in the abatement technology is divisible, irreversible, and subject to transaction costs.

Sensitivity analysis for generalized estimating equation with non‐ignorable missing data
Abstract Many incomplete‐data statistical inference procedures are developed under the missing at random (MAR) assumption. However, the MAR assumption has been criticized as being overly strong for real‐data problems, and is unverifiable by using observed data. To handle data that are missing not at random (MNAR), sensitivity analysis has been proposed

Lifts of continuous and Hölder alpha curves in the configuration space MN/SN$M^N/S_N$
Abstract In this paper, we study the quotient space X=MN/SN$X = M^N / S_N$ of equivalence classes of N$N$‐tuples in a metric space (M,dM)$(M, d_M)$, equipped with the metric induced by the minimal total pairing distance. Given a continuous path F:(0,1)→X$F: (0,1) \rightarrow X$, we prove that there exist continuous functions f1,⋯,fN:(0,1)→M$f_1, \dots,

Cross‐Method Explanation Stability Under Prediction‐Preserving Perturbations in Explainable AI
The cross‐method analysis showed common vulnerability patterns across gradient‐based and perturbation‐based explainers, whereas Grad‐CAM demonstrated a specific ability to be resilient. Further discussion revealed that, before prediction changes with increasing ε, explanation divergence could already have commenced, indicating that further explanation ...

The oscillation of separately locally Lipschitz functions
We prove that a function which dened on the product of two metric Baire spaces is the oscillation of some separately locally Lipschitz function if and only if it is an upper semicontinuous non-negative function which has a crosswise nowhere dense closure

Fourier Mass Lower Bounds for Batchelor‐Regime Passive Scalars
ABSTRACT Batchelor predicted that a passive scalar ψν$\psi ^\nu$ with diffusivity ν$\nu$, advected by a smooth fluid velocity, should typically have Fourier mass distributed as |ψ̂ν|2(k)≈|k|−d$|\widehat{\psi }^\nu |^2(k) \approx |k|^{-d}$ for |k|≪ν−1/2$|k| \ll \nu ^{-1/2}$.
