International Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Aim Wolters' classification of pulpitis has been proposed to classify pulpitis into 4 categories (initial, mild, moderate, severe), aiming to guide clinicians to implement the relevant vital endodontic treatment. The main objective of this study was to test the histologic validity and clinical reliability of the Wolters classification ...

Pairwise Imitation and Tournament Graphs
International Economic Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper investigates strategic dynamics under the behavioral rule of pairwise interact and imitate (PII), which requires minimal information and emphasizes outperforming opponents in pairwise interactions. We characterize PII using weak tournament graphs and, for a broad class of dynamics, establish a one‐shot stability result for ...

Miners' Reward Elasticity and Stability of Competing Proof‐of‐Work Cryptocurrencies
International Economic Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Proof‐of‐Work cryptocurrencies employ miners to sustain the system through algorithmic reward adjustments. We develop a stochastic model of the multicurrency mining and identify conditions for stable transaction speeds. Bitcoin's algorithm requires hash supply elasticity <$<$1 for stability, while ASERT remains stable for any elasticity and ...

Specification Tests for Jump‐Diffusion Models Based on the Characteristic Function
International Statistical Review, EarlyView.Summary Goodness‐of‐fit tests are suggested for several popular jump‐diffusion processes. The suggested test statistics utilise the marginal characteristic function of the model and its L2‐type discrepancy from an empirical counterpart. Model parameters are estimated either by minimising the aforementioned L2‐type discrepancy or by maximum likelihood ...
