Rendering transparency to ranking in educational assessment via Bayesian comparative judgement

open access: yesReview of Education, Volume 14, Issue 2, August 2026.
Abstract Transparency in educational assessment has become an increasingly pressing concern, particularly in the aftermath of the pandemic, as institutions seek more equitable, robust and defensible methods of evaluating student work. Comparative judgement (CJ) has gained traction as a promising alternative to traditional rubric‐based marking. However,

Assessing the Effects of Biodiesel Production on Sustainability: A Bayesian Two‐Stage Data Envelopment Analysis Approach

open access: yesSustainable Development, Volume 34, Issue 4, Page 5648-5668, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Sustainable development transforms production systems, requiring integrated environmental, social, and economic strategies. Energy systems are key agro‐industrial supply chains in developing countries. Brazil's soybean supply chain impacts Gross Domestic Product, mainly through exports.

Bayesian Estimation of the Binomial Parameter in Adaptive Designs With Treatment Selection

open access: yesStatistics in Medicine, Volume 45, Issue 18-19, August 2026.
ABSTRACT It is well‐known that results from adaptive multi‐arm experiments with treatment selection are subject to the bias of the selection process. In this article, we consider designs with a binary outcome that begin with randomized parallel arms.

Fixed or Random Effects: Analysis of Clustered Data

open access: yesStatistics in Medicine, Volume 45, Issue 18-19, August 2026.
ABSTRACT In analyzing clustered data, random effects (RE) and fixed effects (FE) models are two primary approaches. The RE model assumes that the cluster‐specific effects are random and uncorrelated with individual characteristics. If this assumption is violated, the RE approach can lead to biased estimates of the coefficients of individual covariates ...

A revision of the genus Armeria (Plumbaginaceae) in peninsular Italy and Sicily through an integrative taxonomic approach

open access: yesTAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract The genus Armeria in peninsular Italy has been affected by taxonomic ambiguity for more than a century due to high morphological variability. We present a comprehensive revision of peninsular Italian and Sicilian Armeria species, using an integrated taxonomic approach that combines molecular phylogeny, plant and seed morphometrics, and ...

Automated Mineral Identification and Rock‐Type Classification of Lunar Mare Basalts Using SEM Images

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract We present an automated system for identifying minerals and classifying rock types in Apollo lunar mare basalts using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imagery. Mineral segmentation is based on a U‐Net architecture, supplemented by two scale‐aware models designed to incorporate pixel size information.

Surrogate‐Assisted Bayesian Inference of Fracture Network Parameters From Elastic Waves: A Sensitivity‐Guided Approach

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract We develop a sensitivity‐guided, surrogate‐assisted Bayesian framework to infer fracture network parameters from elastic waves. Synthetic fracture networks characterized by power‐law length exponent a $a$, fracture density d $d$, and percolation parameter p $p$ are constructed.
