The Black‐Box of ESG Scores From Rating Agencies: Do They Genuinely Reflect Sustainability Practices, or Are They Disproportionately Shaped by Financial Performance?

International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the environmental, social and governance (ESG) scoring methodologies used by Bloomberg and S&P Global through the lens of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). It addresses a notable gap in the literature by identifying the underlying factors that shape ESG scores and providing practical insights for companies seeking to ...

Joint Estimation and Bandwidth Selection in Partially Parametric Models

Journal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We propose a single‐step approach to estimating a model with both a known nonlinear parametric component and an unknown nonparametric component. We study the large sample behavior of a simultaneous optimization routine that estimates both the parameter vector of the parametric component and the bandwidth vector used to smooth the unknown ...

Challenges and Opportunities in Machine Learning for Light‐Emitting Polymers

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
The performance of light‐emitting polymers emerges from coupled effects of chemical diversity, morphology, and exciton dynamics across multiple length scales. This Perspective reviews recent design strategies and experimental challenges, and discusses how machine learning can unify descriptors, data, and modeling approaches to efficiently navigate ...

Ion Activation Methods for Top‐Down Proteomics

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mass spectrometry (MS) has emerged as a premier method used to characterize the sequences of proteins. Top‐down proteomics aims to capture the multiple sources of structural diversity reflected in proteins, such as those that arise from alternative RNA splicing events or the addition of post‐translational modifications. Tandem MS (i.e., MS/MS)

Ellipsoid‐Based Interval‐Type Uncertainty Model Updating Based on Riemannian Manifold and Gaussian Process Model

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Modern engineering systems require advanced uncertainty‐aware model updating methods that address parameter correlations beyond conventional interval analysis. This paper proposes a novel framework integrating Riemannian manifold theory with Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) for systems governed by Symmetric Positive‐Definite (SPD) matrix ...
