A Bayesian Hierarchical Spatiotemporal Model With Physical Barriers for Extreme Sea‐Level Prediction in Ireland

Environmetrics, Volume 37, Issue 6, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Rising seas raise the vulnerability of coastal regions through higher extreme sea levels. This paper estimates extreme sea levels at gauged and ungauged coastal locations around Ireland and the West Coast of Great Britain, using a Bayesian hierarchical extreme‐value model with spatiotemporal random effects. The annual maxima of tidal residuals

A generalized Gumbel distribution and its parameter estimation

Communications in Statistics - Simulation and Computation, 2017
In this article, main characteristics of a generalized Gumbel (GG) distribution are derived. Parameter estimation with method of moments, maximum likelihood, and Bayesian approaches are demonstrated. Due to the ranges of its skewness and kurtosis, it is satisfactory for fitting a wide variety of datasets.

Enhanced Assessment of Offshore Wind Resources for the Southeastern Coastal Region of China Using 4‐km WRF Modeling

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Offshore wind energy development in China's coastal regions represents a critical pathway toward achieving carbon neutrality goals, yet accurate resource assessment remains challenging due to complex marine meteorological conditions. This study presents a comprehensive evaluation of offshore wind resources in Fujian Province using convection ...

Intermediate clinical endpoints as surrogates for overall survival after salvage prostatectomy

BJU International, Volume 138, Issue 3, Page 430-437, September 2026.
Objectives To evaluate biochemical recurrence‐free survival (BRFS) and metastasis‐free survival (MFS) as potential intermediate clinical endpoints (ICEs) for overall survival (OS) in patients undergoing salvage radical prostatectomy (sRP). Patients and Methods Evaluable patients were selected from a retrospective dataset, resulting in a cohort of 879 ...

Indexes to Measure Dependence between Clinical Diagnostic Tests: A Comparative Study Indices para medir dependencia entre pruebas para diagn'ostico cl'inico: un estudio comparativo

Revista Colombiana de Estadística, 2011
In many practical situations, clinical diagnostic procedures include two or more biological traits whose outcomes are expressed on a continuous scale and are then dichotomized using a cut point.

Comprehensive Analysis for the Evaluation of Torrential Floods and Slope Stability of River Channels: La China River Area (Colombia)

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Colombia and other tropical regions face a very high threat from torrential floods, which have resulted in over 25,000 deaths in a single event. Unfortunately, there is no comprehensive assessment methodology to zone and determine the magnitude of these disasters; therefore, this research aims to help fill this gap.

A Conditional Tail Expectation Type Risk Measure for Time Series

Journal of Time Series Analysis, Volume 47, Issue 5, Page 967-983, September 2026.
ABSTRACT We consider the estimation of the conditional expectation 𝔼(Xh|X0>UX(1/p)), provided 𝔼|X0|<∞, at extreme levels, where (Xt)t∈ℤ$$ {\left({X}_t\right)}_{t\in \mathbb{Z}} $$ is a strictly stationary time series, UX$$ {U}_X $$ its tail quantile function, h$$ h $$ is a positive integer and p∈(0,1)$$ p\in \left(0,1\right) $$ is such that p→0$$ p\to ...

Bias Correction Can Strongly Shape California's Projected Megaflood Risk

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract A California “megaflood”—a weeks‐long cluster of storms with centuries‐long return times—would be catastrophic, yet its timing and magnitude under climate change remains uncertain. A central source of uncertainty is whether Earth System Model boundary conditions should be bias corrected before dynamical downscaling.

Are Modern Droughts Unprecedented?

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 5, August 2026.
Abstract Global drought variability of past centuries remains poorly understood due to sparse instrumental records and limited paleoclimate reconstructions. Yet, quantifying long‐term forced and unforced variability is key for assessing the extremeness of modern (2000–2024) drought events.

Compound Impacts of Drought and Soil Salinity on Maize Productivity

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Intensifying soil drought poses a significant threat to maize yields in China. However, the compounding effects of soil drought and salinity remain poorly understood. Here, we analyze maize yield trends in China from 1982 to 2016 and show that an increase in the total number of drought days is associated with significant yield declines.
