OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
In this paper, we extend the results of Hjort and Pollard (2011) for random quasiconvex criterion functions. That is to say, for quasiconvex objective functions, we can relax the usual assumption of compactness of the parameter space. In addition, for quasiconvex objective functions, we can derive the limit distribution as argmins of the limit objective function without first establishing the root-n consistency of the estimator.
