Specification and Estimation of Rating Scale Models: With an Application to the Determinants of Life Satisfaction [PDF]
Rating variables indicate the extent to which a quality is present, or absent, in a unit of observation. In this paper, we discuss a class of non-linear regression models for rating dependent variables and their estimation by parametric and ...

Semiparametric multivariate volatility models [PDF]
Estimation of multivariate volatility models is usually carried out by quasi maximum likelihood (QMLE), for which consistency and asymptotic normality have been proven under quite general conditions. However, there may be a substantial efficiency loss of

Continual Learning for Multimodal Data Fusion of a Soft Gripper
Models trained on a single data modality often struggle to generalize when exposed to a different modality. This work introduces a continual learning algorithm capable of incrementally learning different data modalities by leveraging both class‐incremental and domain‐incremental learning scenarios in an artificial environment where labeled data is ...

Robust M-estimation of multivariate conditionally heteroscedastic time series models with elliptical innovations. [PDF]
This paper proposes new methods for the econometric analysis of outlier contaminated multivariate conditionally heteroscedastic time series. Robust alternatives to the Gaussian quasi-maximum likelihood estimator are presented.

A Soft Robotic Device for Targeted Massage Therapy of Residual Limbs
Residual limb edema after amputation can hinder recovery and delay prosthetic fitting. This study presents a soft‐robotic wearable device that delivers sequential compression through pneumatic McKibben actuators. By replicating the principles of manual lymphatic drainage, the device generates controlled mechanotherapeutic pressure patterns, providing a
