, 2011 We consider a non-interacting unbounded spin system with conservation of the mean spin. We derive a uniform logarithmic Sobolev inequality (LSI) provided the single-site potential is a bounded perturbation of a strictly convex function.

A Bayes factor framework for unified parameter estimation and hypothesis testing
British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract The Bayes factor, the data‐based updating factor of the prior to posterior odds of two hypotheses, is a natural measure of statistical evidence for one hypothesis over the other. We show how Bayes factors can also be used for parameter estimation.

Calibrating Bayesian inference
British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract Bayesian statistics has gained popularity in psychological research due to its intuitive uncertainty quantification and convenient information‐updating rules. In many applications, however, prior distributions are introduced merely as instruments to facilitate computation, rather than as representations of genuine subjective belief ...

Foreign ownership and transferring of gender norms
Canadian Journal of Economics/Revue canadienne d'économique, EarlyView.Abstract In this paper, we study foreign ownership as a vehicle for transferring gender norms across international borders. Using detailed matched employer‐employee data from Sweden, we analyze how the within‐firm gender pay gap is affected by the degree of gender inequality in the home country of foreign investors.

PBR‐Inspired Controllable Diffusion for Image Generation
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Despite recent advances in text‐to‐image generation, controlling geometric layout and PBR material properties in synthesized scenes remains challenging. We present a pipeline that first produces a G‐buffer (albedo, normals, depth, roughness, shading, and metallic) from a text prompt and then renders a final image through a PBR‐inspired branch ...

Medial Axis Aware Learning of Signed Distance Functions
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract We propose a novel variational method to compute a highly accurate global signed distance function (SDF) to a given point cloud. To this end, the jump set of the gradient of the SDF, which coincides with the medial axis of the surface, is explicitly taken into account through a higher‐order variational formulation that enforces linear growth ...
