A New Approach to the Nonparametric Behrens–Fisher Problem With Compatible Confidence Intervals
Biometrical Journal, Volume 67, Issue 6, December 2025.ABSTRACT We propose a new method to address the nonparametric Behrens–Fisher problem, allowing for unequal distribution functions across the two samples. The procedure tests the null hypothesis H0:θ=1/2$\mathcal {H}_0: \theta = \nicefrac {1}{2}$, where θ=P(X

Robust Mediation Analysis: What We Talk About When We Talk About Robustness
WIREs Computational Statistics, Volume 17, Issue 4, December 2025.A simulated example illustrates the potential effect of a single outlier on mediation analysis. The left column shows data generated under the mediation model, while the right column further includes a single outlier. Ordinary least‐squares (OLS) estimation in the top row is strongly influenced by the outlier, whereas robust estimation in the bottom ...

Learning in random utility models via online decision problems
International Journal of Economic Theory, Volume 21, Issue 4, Page 494-526, December 2025.Abstract This paper examines the Random Utility Model (RUM) in repeated stochastic choice settings where decision‐makers lack full information about payoffs. We propose a gradient‐based learning algorithm that embeds RUM into an online decision‐making framework.
