Assessing the Impact of Promotions on Consumer Purchasing Behavior During Crises
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Understanding how households modify their food expenditure decisions during times of crisis is essential because consumer purchasing behavior frequently changes during these times. This study looks at these behavioral shifts during the COVID‐19 pandemic, concentrating on how price sensitivity and response to sales promotions changed over the ...

Consistent scoring functions for quantiles
, 2013 A scoring function is consistent for the $\alpha$-quantile functional if, and only if, it is generalized piecewise linear (GPL) of order $\alpha$, up to equivalence. Expressed differently, loss functions that yield quantiles as Bayes rules are GPL functions.

Computational study of permeability in cardboard coating layers
AIChE Journal, EarlyView.Abstract We develop a virtual material structure model based on a combination of tessellations and Gaussian random fields for a coating layer of paperboard used for packaging and designed to facilitate printing on the surface. To fit the model to tomographic image data acquired using combined focused ion beam and scanning electron microscopy (FIB‐SEM),

Reconditioning your quantile function
, 2017 Monte Carlo simulation is an important tool for modeling highly nonlinear systems (like particle colliders and cellular membranes), and random, floating-point numbers are their fuel. These random samples are frequently generated via the inversion method, which harnesses the mapping of the quantile function Q(u) (e.g.
