Random Walks and Non-Linear Paths in Macroeconomic Time Series: Some Evidence and Implications [PDF]
This paper investigates whether the inherent non-stationarity of macroeconomic time series is entirely due to a random walk or also to non-linear components. Applying the numerical tools of the analysis of dynamical systems to long time series for the US,

Statistical shape modeling of the human inner ear through micro‐computed tomography imaging
In this study, 54 cadaveric temporal bone specimens underwent high‐resolution micro‐CT imaging. Images were semi‐automatically segmented and converted to 3D surface mesh models for morphological measurement and analysis. Statistical shape models were created for the inner ear, cochlea, and vestibular system, as well as for sex‐ and side‐based subgroups.

GEE analysis of clustered binary data with diverging number of covariates
Clustered binary data with a large number of covariates have become increasingly common in many scientific disciplines. This paper develops an asymptotic theory for generalized estimating equations (GEE) analysis of clustered binary data when the number ...

Learner emotions and performance in hypercasual VR games with adaptive AI difficulty
Abstract Hypercasual virtual reality games (HVRGs) are widely regarded as cost‐effective tools for rapid skill acquisition, yet the mechanisms that optimise their effectiveness and user acceptance remain insufficiently explored. This mixed‐methods empirical study investigates how playful emotions, characterised by engagement, enjoyment and anxiety ...
