In this paper, we analyze stability of nonlinear model predictive control (MPC) using data-driven surrogate models in the optimization step. First, we establish asymptotic stability of the origin, a controlled steady state, w.r.t. the MPC…

Common approaches to inference for structural and reduced-form parameters in empirical economic analysis are based on the consistency and the root-n asymptotic normality of the GMM and M estimators. The canonical consistency (respectively,…

We consider the preferential attachment model. This is a growing random graph such that at each step a new vertex is added and forms $m$ connections. The neighbors of the new vertex are chosen at random with probability proportional to…

Stepped-wedge designs are increasingly used in randomized experiments to accommodate logistical and ethical constraints by staggering treatment roll-out over time. Despite their popularity, existing analytical methods largely rely on…

We consider a linear mixed-effects model with a clustered structure, where the parameters are estimated using maximum likelihood (ML) based on possibly unbalanced data. Inference with this model is typically done based on asymptotic theory,…

This paper looks at effects, due to the boundary, on inference in logistic regression. It shows that first -- and, indeed, higher -- order asymptotic results are not uniform across the model. Near the boundary, effects such as high…
