Generalized Laplace inference in multiple change-points models
No full textUnder the classical long-span asymptotic framework we develop a class of Generalized Laplace (GL) inference methods for the change-point dates in a linear time series regression model with multiple structural changes analyzed in, e.g., Bai and Perron (1998). The GL estimator is defined by an integration rather than optimization-based method and relies on the least-squares criterion function. It is interpreted as a classical (non-Bayesian) estimator and the inference methods proposed retain a frequentist interpretation. This approach provides a better approximation about the uncertainty in the data of the change-points relative to existing methods. On the theoretical side, depending on some input (smoothing) parameter, the class of GL estimators exhibits a dual limiting distribution; namely, the classical shrinkage asymptotic distribution, or a Bayes-type asymptotic distribution. We propose an inference method based on Highest Density Regions using the latter distribution. We show that it has attractive theoretical properties not shared by the other popular alternatives, i.e., it is bet-proof. Simulations confirm that these theoretical properties translate to better finite-sample performance.First author draf
Continuous record Laplace-based inference about the break date in structural change models
No full textBuilding upon the continuous record asymptotic framework recently introduced by Casini and Perron (2018a) for inference in structural change models, we propose a Laplace-based (Quasi-Bayes) procedure for the construction of the estimate and confidence set for the date of a structural change. It is defined by an integration rather than an optimization-based method.A transformation of the least-squares criterion function is evaluated in order to derive a proper distribution, referred to as the Quasi-posterior. For a given choice of a loss function, the Laplace-type estimator is the minimizer of the expected risk with the expectation taken under the Quasi-posterior. Besides providing an alternative estimate that is more precise—lower mean absolute error (MAE) and lower root-mean squared error (RMSE)—than the usual least-squares one, the Quasi-posterior distribution can be used to construct asymptotically valid inference using the concept of Highest Density Region. The resulting Laplace-based inferential procedure is shown to have lower MAE and RMSE, and the confidence sets strike the best balance between empirical coverage rates and average lengths of the confidence sets relative to traditional long-span methods, whether the break size is small or large.First author draf

Clare Martin
No full textPhotograph from Library & Archives NT PH0866/0047 - Northern Territory Government PhotographerEducated in Dominican Convent, Wahroonga, Loreto, Normanhurst, Sydney. Clare did an Arts degree at Sydney University. She came to the Territory to work with ABC as a reporter in 1983. Married to a lawyer, David Alderman, she had two children Chloe and Jake.
Clare was a member of the Australian Labor Party, she gained the distinction of becoming the first Labor and first female Chief Minister of the Northern Territory in 2001. She was elected to the Legislative Assembly of the Northern Territory at a by-election for the seat of Fannie Bay in 1995. This seat was formerly held by the Chief Minister Marshall Perron, member of the Country Liberal Party. She was re-elected in 1997, assumed the leadership of the ALP in 1999 and went on to win the 2001 election. In addition to her role as Chief Minister, she held the ministerial portfolios of Treasurer, Arts and Museums, Young Territorians, Women's Policy, Senior Territorians, Communications, Science and Advanced Technology. She won the 2005 election with an increased majority, but resigned from Parliament in November 2007.
Currently, she has been based in Sydney for the past two years in the role of chief executive of the Australian Council of Social Service. Clare is returning to serve as a professional fellow at the new Public and Social Policy Research Institute. She will take up the position at Charles Darwin University in early August.[Source ABC News, Darwin.]JournalistPoliticia

Robert Morin : Preliminary Notes for a Western, 1990
No full textPerron delineates how Morin uses the conventions of the western genre and gives it a twist to speak of one's power - especially women's - against the codes and patriarchy of language. The author elaborates on the artist's strategies - such as the use of a female narrator playing both men and women characters - which create a form of distanciation that liberates the viewer.

A linear spline maximum entropy method for Frobenius-Perron operators of multi-dimensional transformations
No full textA piecewise linear spline maximum entropy optimization method is described for the approximation of fixed densities of the Frobenius-Perron operator associated with higher-dimensional transformations. Convergence in 1-norm is proved and several examples with results are given.NSERC D
