We consider a class of conditional forward-backward diffusion models for conditional generative modeling, that is, generating new data given a covariate (or control variable). To formally study the theoretical properties of these…

Reinsurance optimization is a cornerstone of solvency and capital management, yet traditional approaches often rely on restrictive distributional assumptions and static program designs. We propose a hybrid framework that combines…

A graph generative model defines a distribution over graphs. One type of generative model is constructed by autoregressive neural networks, which sequentially add nodes and edges to generate a graph. However, the likelihood of a graph under…

Stochastic frontier models have attracted considerable attention due to the incorporation of an inefficiency term in addition to the conventional error term. In this paper, we propose a general estimation framework for panel stochastic…

We propose a probability distribution for multivariate binary random variables. The probability distribution is expressed as principal minors of the parameter matrix, which is a matrix analogous to the inverse covariance matrix in the…

We initiate the effective study of conditional expectations onto subfactors. Our main result is that if $M$ is an existentially closed II$_1$ factor with a w-spectral gap subfactor $N$, then the conditional expectation function onto $N$ can…
