A Conversation With David Bellhouse

open access: yesInternational Statistical Review, EarlyView.
Summary David Richard Bellhouse was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, on 19 July 1948. He studied actuarial mathematics and statistics at the University of Manitoba (BA, 1970; MA, 1972) and completed his PhD at the University of Waterloo, Ontario, in 1975. After being an Assistant Professor for 1 year at his alma mater, he joined the University of Western ...

The Role of Dice in the Emergence of the Probability Calculus

open access: yesInternational Statistical Review, EarlyView.
Summary The early development of the probability calculus was clearly influenced by the roll of dice. However, while dice have been cast since time immemorial, documented calculations on the frequency of various dice throws date back only to the mid‐13th century.

Inference via the Skewness‐Kurtosis Set

open access: yesInternational Statistical Review, EarlyView.
Summary Kurtosis minus squared skewness is bounded from below by 1, but for unimodal distributions, this parameter is bounded by 189/125. In some applications, it is natural to compare distributions by comparing their kurtosis‐minus‐squared‐skewness parameters. The asymptotic behavior of the empirical version of this parameter is studied here for i.i.d.

Bias Adjustment for Mean Squared Error Estimation in M‐Quantile Models for Small Area Estimation

open access: yesInternational Statistical Review, EarlyView.
Summary M‐quantile (MQ) regression provides a robust and flexible alternative to mixed models for small area estimation. However, several theoretical aspects remain underexplored. In this paper, a parametric bootstrap method is proposed to approximate the distributions of area‐specific MQ coefficients and applied to adjust the bias in the mean squared ...

A genetic algorithm simheuristic for solving the stochastic project portfolio selection problem with portfolio reliability constraints

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In response to the increasing complexity of modern products, dynamic markets, and intensified competition, project‐based organizations are actively seeking methodologies to efficiently manage their expanding project portfolios. This paper analyzes the project portfolio selection problem in uncertain environments. Despite recent advances in the
