Extreme-coastal-water-level estimation and projection: a comparison of statistical methods [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2022 Accurate estimates of the probability of extreme sea levels are pivotal for assessing risk and for designing coastal defense structures. This probability is typically estimated by modeling observed sea-level records using one of a few statistical ...

Cooperation without culture? The null effect of generalized trust on intentional homicide: a cross-national panel analysis, 1995-2009. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Sociologists, political scientists, and economists all suggest that culture plays a pivotal role in the development of large-scale cooperation. In this study, I used generalized trust as a measure of culture to explore if and how culture impacts ...

Bootstrap Testing of the Rank of a Matrix via Least Squared Constrained Estimation [PDF]
, 2013 In order to test if an unknown matrix has a given rank (null hypothesis), we consider the family of statistics that are minimum squared distances between an estimator and the manifold of fixed-rank matrix.
