Whose Sustainability Counts? Board Governance, ESG Ratings, and Sustainable Development Goals: Evidence on the ESG–SDG Wedge

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Institutional investors increasingly rely on ESG ratings to evaluate financially material sustainability risks, while governments promote corporate alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Because these frameworks differ substantially in capital market salience and monitoring intensity, board oversight may not ...

Experimental methods in chemical engineering: The scientific method versus engineering design methodology

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Engineering graduate students confuse the scientific method and problem solving when presenting their pre‐doctoral exams and theses: Science discourse adopts question and hypotheses to assert and establish a study's rationale, while it is problem and objectives in engineering design.

Asymptotic properties of cross‐classified sampling designs

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract We investigate the family of cross‐classified sampling designs across an arbitrary number of dimensions. We introduce a variance decomposition that enables the derivation of general asymptotic properties for these designs and the development of straightforward and asymptotically unbiased variance estimators.

Modified F‐tests for assessing tree radial growth under linear‐circular regression models with correlated errors: A comprehensive toolbox rooted in G. E. P. Box's theorems

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Annual tree growth is a complex biological process. Modelling radial growth in the trunk by linear‐circular regression with one mode and correlated errors has allowed the definition and assessment of a preferred direction for 1 and 2 years. Here, modified F$$ F $$‐tests are presented for 3 years, 1 mode/year; 1 year, 2 modes for possible main ...

Nonlinear permuted Granger causality

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Granger causality is an established, contentious method that seeks causal temporal connections via association and precedence. While not true causal inference, it assists in mapping networks of information flow that may warrant further study.

Copula‐based joint modelling of emergency department visits with time‐varying dependence

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Jointly modelling multiple correlated count time series is essential in health services research, where outcomes like emergency visits for mental health and substance use often evolve together. Ignoring these dependencies can obscure meaningful trends and limit the effectiveness of policy evaluation.

Analyzing zero‐truncated recurrent event data by stratified regression with time‐varying coefficients

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract This article presents a strategy for conducting regression analysis of zero‐truncated recurrent event data. The research is partly motivated by a pediatric mental health care (PMHC) program based on administrative data. We are particularly interested in how the occurrence of an event depends on its past occurrences and the associated ...

Optimal subsampling for regression with mixed‐type predictors

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Subsampling has emerged as an appealing strategy to mitigate the computational and storage challenges imposed by large datasets. Recent subsampling techniques have shown notable computational gains for data dominated by numerical predictors. However, real‐world datasets frequently contain both numerical and categorical predictors.

Large parameter asymptotic analysis for homogeneous normalized random measures with independent increments

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Homogeneous normalized random measures with independent increments represent a broad class of Bayesian nonparametric priors and thus are widely used. In this article, we obtain the strong law of large numbers, the central limit theorem (CLT), and the functional central limit theorem (fCLT) of such measures when the concentration parameter a ...

A Geometric Characterization of Steady Laminar Flow

Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We study the steady states of the Euler equations on the periodic channel or annulus. We show that if these flows are laminar (layered by closed non‐contractible streamlines which foliate the domain), then they must be either parallel or circular flows.
