ABSTRACT Financial well‐being (FWB) has become an important outcome for individuals, organizations, and policymakers because of its implications for consumer behavior, financial resilience, and quality of life. Research in this field has increasingly relied on structural equation modeling (SEM) to examine complex relationships, yet methodological ...

A Framework for Quantifying Diverse Multi‐Hazard Interactions to Enhance Climate Resilience
A generalized framework for quantifying multi‐hazard interactions is developed and applied across four European regions. The framework captures regional hazard dependencies and joint probabilities, with methods tailored to different temporal scales. Results indicate increasing multi‐hazard event frequency under future climate scenarios, highlighting ...

ABSTRACT A key component for wildfire risk management is predicting when and where fires might happen. We build short‐term (1–4 days ahead) fire occurrence prediction models by adapting the random forest algorithm using an errors in variables approach to account for the inherent forecasting error in short‐term forecasts of fuel moisture.

Tail Risk Transmission in Agricultural and Energy Markets
ABSTRACT This paper examines downside hedging, tail diversification, and extreme tail risk transmission between crude oil and agricultural commodity futures over two decades. We develop complementary indicators of downside dependence, including sign‐switching frequency and persistence, to assess tail risk dynamics, hedging effectiveness, and associated

Statistical Monitoring of Multivariate Count Data From Real‐Time Particle Counters
ABSTRACT In the pharmaceutical industry, production environments are monitored for bacterial contamination. Particle counters are increasingly investigated for real‐time monitoring of viable microorganisms using count data for different particle size intervals.

Not All Missing Data are Equal: Choosing the Right Imputation Method for Binary Datasets
ABSTRACT Missing binary predictors are common in reliability, quality control, and industrial decision systems, yet imputation methods are often chosen by convenience rather than evidence. We conduct a Monte Carlo study comparing mode substitution, sequential hot‐deck, missForest, MICE, and KNN with three neighbourhood sizes under MCAR, MAR, and MNAR ...

A Rank‐Based CUSUM Monitoring Scheme for Time Between Events and Amplitude Data
ABSTRACT Monitoring time between events and amplitude (TBEA) data is critical in many applications, particularly in manufacturing, reliability engineering, and service operations. Yet, most existing TBEA control charts focus on a single quality characteristic and are typically developed under restrictive distributional assumptions.

Nonparametric Conditional Copula Density Estimation With Applications to the Body Mass Index
ABSTRACT This study develops a nonparametric conditional copula density estimator that features a parametric carrier copula refined by an exponential series adjustment. We adopt the local likelihood approach for conditional distribution estimation and incorporate the influence of covariates via kernel smoothing.

ABSTRACT We show that the percentile–percentile (P–P) process constructed from an independent and identically distributed sample of pairs converges in distribution in L1[0,1]$$ {L}^1\left[0,1\right] $$ if and only if the associated P–P curve is absolutely continuous.

ABSTRACT Background Ganciclovir (GCV) exposure after standard valganciclovir (VGCV) prophylaxis is highly variable. Guidelines recommend Cockcroft–Gault for renal dose adjustment. We evaluated whether Cockcroft–Gault‐based dosing achieves the target prophylactic exposure (AUC0‐24h: 40–60 mg.h/L) and whether MDRD or CKD‐EPI alters exposure.
