A common problem in data analysis is the separation of signal and background. We revisit and generalise the so-called $sWeights$ method, which allows one to calculate an empirical estimate of the signal density of a control variable using a…

The stochastic frontier model with heterogeneous technical efficiency explained by exoge-nous variables is augmented with a spatial-temporal component, a generalization relaxing the panel independence assumption in a panel data. The…

Time-series imputation benchmarks employ uniform random masking and shape-agnostic metrics (MSE, RMSE), implicitly weighting evaluation by regime prevalence. In systems with a dominant attractor -- homeostatic physiology, nominal industrial…
