Markov Determinantal Point Process for Dynamic Random Sets
ABSTRACT The Law of Determinantal Point Process (LDPP) is a flexible parametric family of distributions over random sets defined on a finite state space, or equivalently over multivariate binary variables. The aim of this paper is to introduce Markov processes of random sets within the LDPP framework. We show that, when the pairwise distribution of two

Abstract Precision segmentation of cracks is important in industrial non‐destructive testing, but the presence of shadows in the actual environment can interfere with the segmentation results of cracks. To solve this problem, this study proposes a two‐stage domain adaptation framework called GAN‐DANet for crack segmentation in shadowed environments. In

Expected value, to a point: Moral decision‐making under background uncertainty
Abstract Expected value maximization gives plausible guidance for moral decision‐making under uncertainty in many situations. But it has unappetizing implications in ‘Pascalian’ situations involving tiny probabilities of extreme outcomes. This paper shows, first, that under realistic levels of ‘background uncertainty’ about sources of value independent

Abstract Bayesian non‐parametrics has evolved into a broad area encompassing flexible methods for Bayesian inference, combinatorial structures, tools for complex data reduction, and more. Discrete prior laws play an important role in these developments, and various choices are available nowadays.

Multi‐stage stochastic frontier analysis for simple networks
Abstract We develop a method for modelling multi‐stage production using stochastic frontier analysis. This approach is suitable for the analysis of costs or output where intermediate outputs become inputs into a subsequent stage of the production process, either within an organisation or in the form of a supply chain.

This contribution aims at studying a general class of random differential equations with Dirac‐delta impulse terms at a finite number of time instants. Our approach directly addresses calculating the so‐called first probability density function, from which all the relevant statistical information about the solution, a stochastic process, can be ...

Abstract Surfactant modification to improve interfacial hydrophobicity is widely employed in separation applications such as mineral recovery. However, few modifications effectively enhance both the inherent hydrophobicity of the surfactant and its surface‐anchoring capacity.

Appraising Model Complexity in Option Pricing
ABSTRACT The research question we consider is whether incremental complexity in option pricing models is justified by incremental model performance. We apply the model confidence set as a formal model comparison approach in appraising stochastic volatility jump‐diffusion option pricing models, spanning affine and nonaffine specifications.

The ability of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) to model developmental processes makes them a promising source for engineering testicular tissues to study in vitro maturation and sperm production. This work describes the first hiPSC‐derived testicular model and shows that it captures functional aspects of prepubertal testicular tissues ...

The directional rolling motion of low‐surface‐tension working fluids and water droplets on a superhydrophobic magnetically responsive micropillar array (SMMA) is investigated. The factors influencing these instabilities are studied using data analysis. Techniques for capturing and releasing droplets are investigated, offering significant insights into ...
