Information Aggregation With Delegation of Votes
International Economic Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Liquid democracy (LD) combines elements of direct and representative democracy: voters can either vote directly or delegate their votes to others. We study its information aggregation properties in a setting with heterogeneously and privately informed independent and partisan voters.

International Statistical Review, EarlyView.Summary Understanding the spread of infectious diseases such as COVID‐19 is crucial for informed decision‐making and resource allocation. A critical component of disease behaviour is the velocity with which disease spreads, defined as the rate of change between time and space.

Stochastic orderings for discrete random variables
A number of application areas of statistics make direct use of stochastic orderings. Here the special case of discrete distributions is covered. For a given partial ordering [not precedes, equals] one can define the class of all [not precedes, equals ...

A Non‐Parametric Framework for Correlation Functions on Product Metric Spaces
International Statistical Review, EarlyView.Summary We propose a non‐parametric framework for analysing data defined over products of metric spaces, a versatile class encountered in various fields. This framework accommodates non‐stationarity and seasonality and is applicable to both local and global domains, such as the Earth's surface, as well as domains evolving over linear time or time ...

Goodness‐of‐Fit Tests for Positive Quadrant Dependence
International Statistical Review, EarlyView.Summary When two random variables are positive quadrant dependent (PQD), they are more likely to assume small (or large) values simultaneously compared with when the random variables are independent. This dependence structure is of interest in many areas, including finance, actuarial science and engineering.

Clustering All‐Cause Mortality Data: A Review
International Statistical Review, EarlyView.Summary Mortality data are relevant to demography, public health and actuarial science; such data are high‐dimensional, making broad patterns difficult to identify. Clustering is increasingly used to reveal such patterns, yet a review of its application to all‐cause mortality with a focus on country‐level data is lacking.

A unified formulation for home healthcare routing and scheduling problems
International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract Home Healthcare is an essential component of healthcare systems, where caregivers visit patients' homes to deliver services. While presenting advantages with respect to institutional care, such as being cost‐effective and alleviating family burdens, it presents challenges in scheduling and routing caregivers efficiently.

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract Literature reviews published in peer‐reviewed journals are a prime source of general reference, as their validity and reliability are usually undisputed. This paper aims to raise awareness on biases and replicability challenges widely spread across literature reviews, using the field of efficiency of education as an example.

Inequalities associated with intra-inter-class correlation matrices
This paper complements the results of Tong (Ann. Statist. 17 (1989) 429), Shaked and Tong (Ann. Statist. 20 (1992) 614) and Eaton (in: Stochastic Inequalities, IMS Lecture Notes Monograph Series, Vol.

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract We study an inventory routing problem with time windows (IRPTW). A single supplier serves a set of customers to fulfill their demand throughout a planning horizon. Each customer can be visited only within designated time windows, assuming each customer provides a single delivery time window valid for all periods.
