Episode 556 - Almost Arteta

Mikel Arteta is almost Arsenal's new head coach, but not quite officially yet. However, I chat with James Benge as if it is, and we discuss the job in hand for the new man. What are his biggest challenges? What can such an inexperienced coach bring to a club in crisis? Where are the improvements he can make in the short term? And will he get the support from everyone that he's going to need? We delve into the appointment, chat Freddie's few weeks, boardroom issues, and more – plus some of the usual waffle.

Foreign aid: shortfall since 1970 almost $5 trillion; greater than aid given

Over 40 years ago, rich country governments agreed to give 0.7% of their GNI (Gross National Income) as official aid to poor countries for development assistance.

The average aid delivered each year has actually been between 0.2 to 0.4%. The shortfall has therefore accumulated to almost $5 trillion dollars at 2012 prices, while total aid delivered in that same time frame has reached $3.6 trillion.

This update includes updated charts and graphs that look into this further.

Almost sure uniqueness of a global minimum without convexity

Gregory Cox.

Source: The Annals of Statistics, Volume 48, Number 1, 584--606.

Abstract:
This paper establishes the argmin of a random objective function to be unique almost surely. This paper first formulates a general result that proves almost sure uniqueness without convexity of the objective function. The general result is then applied to a variety of applications in statistics. Four applications are discussed, including uniqueness of M-estimators, both classical likelihood and penalized likelihood estimators, and two applications of the argmin theorem, threshold regression and weak identification.
