We study the small sample properties of conditional quantile estimators such as classical and IV quantile regression. First, we propose a higher-order analytical framework for comparing competing estimators in small samples and assessing the accuracy of common inference procedures. Our framework...

This paper presents a multi-objective mathematical model to perform power restoration. It considers simultaneously the objective functions: restoration time, load shedding, and cost. New formulations are developed to improve the maneuverability of the system elements. This distinguishes the...
