Proof Scores in the OTS/CafeOBJ Method [PDF]
A way to write proof scores showing that distributed systems have invariant properties in algebraic specification languages is described, which has been devised through several case studies. The way makes it possible to divide a formula stating an invariant property under discussion into reasonably small ones, each of which is proved by writing proof ...

Asymptotic optimality of the quasi-score estimator in a class of linear score estimators [PDF]
We prove that the quasi-score estimator in a mean-variance model is optimal in the class of (unbiased) linear score estimators, in the sense that the difference of the asymptotic covariance matrices of the linear score and quasi-score estimator is ...
