This paper presents a novel copula-based autoregressive framework for multilayer arrays of integer-valued time series with tensor structure. It complements recent advances in tensor time series that predominantly focus on real-valued data and overlook the unique properties of integer-valued time...

This paper studies models of processes generating censored outcomes with endogenous explanatory variables and instrumental variable restrictions. Tobit-type left censoring at zero is the primary focus in the exposition. The models studied here are unrestrictive relative to others widely used in...

This paper presents a new optimal methodology for parameter identification of a 50 kW polymer membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) based on the economical–functional model. The objective of the study is to optimal estimation of the system parameters such that the minimum total cost has been needed for...

Model-identification and parameter extraction of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is a well-defined procedure for improving the PEMFC efficiency for designing and control purposes. This paper presents a new version of the improved fluid search optimization algorithm for optimal...

This paper revisits the simple, but empirically salient, problem of inference on a real-valued parameter that is partially identified through upper and lower bounds with asymptotically normal estimators. A simple confidence interval is proposed and is shown to have the following properties:...

This paper studies models of processes generating censored outcomes with endogenous explanatory variables and instrumental variable restrictions. Tobit-type left censoring at zero is the primary focus in the exposition. Extension to stochastic censoring is sketched. The models do not specify the...

In empirical studies, the data usually don't include all the variables of interest in an economic model. This paper shows the identification of unobserved variables in observations at the population level. When the observables are distinct in each observation, there exists a function mapping...
