Insurance and the “Irrationalization” of Disaster Policy: A Political Crisis Theory for an Age of Climate Risk

open access: yesThe British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the last several years, disaster insurance programs around the world have experienced disruptions that many observers interpret to be a primary symptom of “climate crisis” (Bittle 2024). Governments have responded to these disruptions through disjointed and at times contradictory measures: they treat disasters, alternately, as “Acts of God”

Entropy, Information Matrix and order statistics of Multivariate Pareto, Burr and related distributions

open access: yes, 2004
In this paper we derive the exact analytical expressions for the information and covariance matrices of the multivariate Burr and related distributions. These distributions arise as tractable parametric models in reliability, actuarial science, economics,

Estimation of Daily Smoking Prevalence for Disaggregated Statistical Areas in Australia

open access: yesAustralian &New Zealand Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Motivated by the need to estimate prevalence at multiple disaggregated level hierarchies, rather than only one, this study extends widely used area‐level models in Bayesian and frequentist framework. We propose adding additional unstructured random effects at higher level disaggregated domains to the traditional models. Using our extension, we

Automated Residual Plot Assessment With the R Package autovi and the Shiny Application autovi.web

open access: yesAustralian &New Zealand Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Visual assessment of residual plots is a common approach for diagnosing linear models, but it relies on manual evaluation, which does not scale well and can lead to inconsistent decisions across analysts. The lineup protocol, which embeds the observed plot among null plots, can reduce subjectivity but requires even more human effort.
