DNA Barcoding Reveals Cryptic Diversity and Informs Conservation Priorities in Chinese Firmiana Species (Malvaceae) Using Genome Skimming Data DNA条形码揭示中国梧桐属 (锦葵科) 隐存多样性及保护优先级:来自基因组浅层测序数据的证据

open access: yesIntegrative Conservation, EarlyView.
Accurate species identification is critical for conserving endangered Firmiana trees in China. However, morphological similarities among closely related Firmiana species complicate its taxonomic identification. We conducted genome skimming on 62 samples representing all 10 Chinese species and discovered nrITS as the optimal DNA barcode, achieving 100 ...

A Local Projections Approach to Difference‐in‐Differences

open access: yesJournal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We propose a local projections (LPs)‐based difference‐in‐differences (DiD) approach that subsumes many of the recent solutions proposed in the literature to address possible biases arising from negative weighting. We combine LPs with a flexible “clean control” condition to define appropriate sets of treated and control units.

Slow Expectation–Maximization Convergence in Low‐Noise Dynamic Factor Models

open access: yesJournal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper addresses the slow convergence of the expectation–maximization (EM) algorithm in the estimation of low‐noise dynamic factor models, commonly used in macroeconomic nowcasting and forecasting. We show analytically and in Monte Carlo simulations how the EM algorithm stagnates in a low‐noise environment, leading to inaccurate estimates ...

Steiner Triple Systems With High Discrepancy

open access: yesJournal of Combinatorial Designs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this paper, we initiate the study of discrepancy questions for combinatorial designs. Specifically, we show that, for every fixed r ≥ 3 $r\ge 3$ and n ≡ 1 , 3 ( mod 6 ) $n\equiv 1,3\,(\mathrm{mod}\,6)$, any r $r$‐colouring of the triples on [ n ] $[n]$ admits a Steiner triple system of order n $n$ with discrepancy Ω ( n 2 ) ${\rm{\Omega }}({
