My arXiv articles

Below are my 4 most recent publications on arXiv, a full list can be found here: https://arxiv.org/a/0000-0002-9796-6682.html

Spatial ARCH Model (SpaSta)

Inspired by the time-series ARCH model developed by Robert F. Engle (1982), for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize, we have introduced a univariate spatial ARCH model in 2016 (first published arXiv paper).

Research Interest Score is higher than 93% of all articles published in 2018 (Researchgate)

Agrimonia Dataset (nature Scientific Data)

Dataset published: daily air quality, weather, and agricultural/livestock activity data for Lombardy, Italy to aid air quality research.

Research Interest Score is higher than 94% of all articles published in 2023 (Researchgate)

Estimation of the Spatial Weights Matrix (JCGS)

We propose an adaptive LASSO estimation procedure to fully recover the unknown weight matrix of spatial autoregressive panels with locally varying mean levels.

Research Interest Score is higher than 92% of all articles published in 2022 (Researchgate)

Statistical Analysis of Coastal Profiles (CoastEng)

Fully data-driven statistical model to understand the spatial and temporal evolution of coastal profiles (e.g. for efficient intervention designs against coastal erosion).

Research Interest Score is higher than 89% of all articles published in 2021 (Researchgate)
