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 ...

Quality of Service, Efficiency, and Scale in Network Industries: An Analysis of European Electricity Distribution [PDF]
Quality of service is of major economic significance in natural monopoly infrastructure industries and is increasingly addressed in regulatory schemes. However, this important aspect is generally not reflected in efficiency analysis of these industries ...

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)

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 ...

A Novel Two‐Stage Flexible Flow Shop Batch Scheduling Model for Grinding Workshops
Naval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.ABSTRACT The growing need for data storage in data centers has increased the demand for mechanical hard disks due to their low cost and high reliability. Aluminum substrates are the most popular base plates for mechanical hard disks because of their high hardness and low cost.

Retrospective image analysis for long‐term demography using Google Earth imagery
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.We demonstrate that high‐resolution Google Earth imagery, combined with minimal field validation, enables retrospective tracking of individual invasive plants. The image shows one of the monitored individuals of Opuntia sp. in Greece. Our approach reveals long‐term demographic patterns, recruitment dynamics, and spatial expansion without continuous ...
