On Inference for Multivariate Regression Model Based on Synthetic Data Generated under Fixed-Posterior Predictive Sampling

Revstat Statistical Journal, 2017
The authors derive likelihood-based exact inference methods for the multivariate regression model, for singly imputed synthetic data generated via Posterior Predictive Sampling (PPS) and for multiply imputed synthetic data generated via a newly proposed

Geographic Spines in the 2020 Census Disclosure Avoidance System

The Journal of Privacy and Confidentiality
The 2020 Census Disclosure Avoidance System (DAS) is a formally private mechanism that first adds independent noise to cross tabulations for a set of pre-specified hierarchical geographic units, which is known as the geographic spine.

SeasCen, A Python-Based Platform for Time Series Modeling and Seasonal Adjustment

Data Science in Science
Whereas X-13ARIMA-SEATS (X-13) is widely used around the world to seasonally adjust economic time series, its continued longevity is jeopardized by the ongoing difficulty of maintaining its FORTRAN codebase. The FORTRAN language is no longer the platform

Measuring Vulnerability and Resilience in the Time of Change Using Small Area Estimation

International Journal of Population Data Science, 2023
The United States Census Bureau launched a new tool for national agencies and local communities, the Community Resilience Estimates (CRE). The CRE tracks social and economic vulnerability by measuring the capacity of individuals and households to cope ...

Building the Census Bureau Index of Economic Activity (IDEA)

Data Science in Science
The Census Bureau Index of Economic Activity is constructed from 15 of the Census Bureau’s primary monthly economic indicators to provide a single time series reflecting the variation over time in the whole set of component series.

Preferential Trade Agreements and Productivity: Evidence from Peru

Economía, 2023
This paper analyzes the impact of reducing output tariffs (i.e., domestic tariffs on import of final goods) and input tariffs (i.e., domestic tariffs on imports of intermediate goods) on total factor productivity growth of Peruvian manufacturing firms ...

Network topology drives population temporal variability in experimental habitat networks

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
Habitat patches connected by dispersal pathways form habitat networks. We explored how network topology affects population outcomes in laboratory experiments using a model species (Daphnia carinata). Central habitat nodes in complex lattice networks exhibited lower temporal variability in population sizes, suggesting they support more stable ...

Nonlinear prediction via Hermite transformation

Statistical Theory and Related Fields, 2021
General prediction formulas involving Hermite polynomials are developed for time series expressed as a transformation of a Gaussian process. The prediction gains over linear predictors are examined numerically, demonstrating the improvement of nonlinear ...

Speciation Through the Lens of Population Dynamics: A Theoretical Primer on How Small and Large Populations Diverge

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
Population size and dynamics fundamentally shape speciation by influencing genetic drift, founder events, and adaptive potential. Small populations may speciate rapidly due to stronger drift, whereas large populations harbor more genetic diversity, which can alter divergence trajectories. We highlight theoretical models that incorporate population size
