Moving Aggregate Modified Autoregressive Copula‐Based Time Series Models (MAGMAR‐Copulas)
Journal of Time Series Analysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Copula‐based time series models can model univariate and stationary time series in a flexible way by decomposing the joint distribution of consecutive observations into a copula and the stationary distribution. Implicitly, this approach assumes a finite Markov order. In reality, a time series may not follow the Markov property.

Animal Logic: Locke and the Nature of Inference
Noûs, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Can animals reason? If so, what would their reasoning consist in, and how, if at all, would it differ from its human counterpart? On these questions, John Locke stakes out a position that also merits consideration today. I argue that, for Locke, reasoning is a matter of the subject's construing her mental states as support for a conclusion ...

Assessing the Effectiveness of Workers' Selection Exams: The Case of the Bank of Italy
Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT High‐stakes exams can be used to rank and select candidates for job openings, and the ability of those selected hinges on the design of the exam. I propose a method to model candidates' performance to assess how effective the exam is at selecting high‐ability candidates.

Toxic utopia: Unseen ideology and “Le Politique” in China Miéville's The City & The City
Orbis Litterarum, EarlyView.Abstract What if ideology were not just hidden—but aesthetic? This article reads China Miéville's The City & The City not as a metaphor for division, but as a speculative blueprint for how politics operates through enforced invisibility. By threading Derrida's Absolute Other and Rancière's le politique through Miéville's uncanny urban layering, we ...

Plant Biology, EarlyView.We demonstrate that Spiculaea ciliata attracts male Thynnoturneria abspiculus through a single semiochemical, identified as 4‐hydroxy‐3‐(methylthio)benzaldehyde, emitted from its labellum. This compound alone elicited sexual behaviours in male wasps comparable to those elicited by whole floral extracts and attracted wasps when presented on a synthetic ...

Modal Logic and Modal Metaphysics: An Avicennian Division of Labour
Theoria, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper argues that Avicenna was both a necessitarian and a realist about contingency. The two aspects of his modal metaphysics are reconciled by arguing that Avicenna's modal metaphysics is founded on realism about essences: strictly speaking, an individual has no contingent properties, but a modal distinction can be made between the ...

Superlative Objoid Constructions in British and American English
World Englishes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper investigates regional variation in Superlative Objoid constructions (SOCs) and their prepositional variant (at‐SOCs). SOCs combine a possessive pronoun with a superlative adjective. These function as manner‐degree modifiers in a context where the possessive is in postverbal position and correlative with the subject, as in they tried
