Robust Bernoulli Mixture Models for Credit Portfolio Risk

Mathematical Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents comparison results and establishes risk bounds for credit portfolios within classes of Bernoulli mixture models, assuming conditionally independent defaults that are stochastically increasing in a common risk factor. We provide simple and interpretable conditions on conditional default probabilities that imply a comparison ...

Enhancing Weight Loss Programs: A Meta‐Analysis of Financial Incentives and Behavior Change Techniques

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Obesity is a risk factor for chronic illness. Financial incentives contingent on behaviors or outcomes related to weight loss can promote weight loss efforts. This meta‐analysis examines the added effect of financial incentives for weight loss in health behavior change interventions, both short‐ and long‐term, in adults. Additionally, subgroup

Multi‐Seasonal eDNA Metabarcoding Highlights a Resurgence in Fish Diversity Across a Severely Impacted Estuarine Ecosystem

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Aquatic ecosystems have been in an alarming state of decline for decades. In particular, estuarine ecosystems have experienced long‐term declines in fish diversity due to factors such as habitat degradation, pollution and altered hydrology. Monitoring these systems is often limited by the difficulty and cost of conventional survey methods.

Assessing Overall Survival Benefits in Advanced Cancers: The Role of External Comparator Cohort Studies with Real‐World Data

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, Volume 119, Issue 4, Page 1080-1087, April 2026.
External comparator cohort (ECC) studies with real‐world data (RWD) may provide more reliable estimates of treatment differences compared to single‐arm trials (SAT), yet they face limitations such as selection bias and data heterogeneity. This study assessed the perceived strength of evidence of ECC studies compared to SAT and randomized controlled ...
