Opportunities and Challenges for Surveillance of Congenital Anomalies in Sub‐Saharan Africa

Birth Defects Research, Volume 118, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Congenital anomalies (CA) are ranked as the 3rd and 4th leading cause of neonatal and under‐5 mortality, respectively. Over 30% of infants born with a serious CA are found in sub‐Saharan Africa. Yet there are few robust epidemiological data on the burden and distribution of CA and associated mortality, disability, and morbidity ...

Restricted Tweedie stochastic block models

Canadian Journal of Statistics, Volume 54, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract The stochastic block model (SBM) is a widely used framework for community detection in networks, where the network structure is typically represented by an adjacency matrix. However, conventional SBMs are not directly applicable to an adjacency matrix that consists of nonnegative zero‐inflated continuous edge weights.
