Coherent forecasts of mortality with compositional data analysis

open access: yesDemographic Research, 2017
Background: Mortality trends for subpopulations, e.g., countries in a region or provinces in a country, tend to change similarly over time. However, when forecasting subpopulations independently, the forecast mortality trends often diverge.

Deciphering nodal burden in thyroid carcinoma: A dedicated survey of age, lymph node ratio, log odds of positive nodes, and preoperative prediction models

open access: yesJournal of Intelligent Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Evidence regarding the prognosis of thyroid carcinoma is heterogeneous, ranging from age effects and nodal burden metrics, such as lymph node ratio (LNR) and log odds of positive nodes (LODDS), to preoperative imaging models comprising ultrasound, CEUS, and radiomics.

Oppression‐based stressors, posttraumatic stress symptoms, and self‐injurious thoughts and behaviors among a national sample of queer adolescents of color

open access: yesJournal of Traumatic Stress, EarlyView.
Abstract Oppression‐based stressors (OBS; e.g., heterosexism‐based stressors) are associated with a higher risk of trauma‐related symptoms and self‐injurious thoughts and behaviors (SITB) for queer (e.g., lesbian, gay, bisexual) adolescents. However, prior research has yet to examine posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) and SITB in the context of the ...

Robust forecasting of mortality and fertility rates: a functional data approach [PDF]

open access: yes
We propose a new method for forecasting age-specific mortality and fertility rates observed over time. Our approach allows for smooth functions of age, is robust for outlying years due to wars and epidemics, and provides a modelling framework that is ...

Reclaimed Well Sites on Salt Affected Soils: Electrical Conductivity and Sodium Adsorption Ratio as Plant Community Response Indicators

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Salt affected soils are common worldwide, resulting from natural causes and anthropogenic activities. Saline and sodic soils often occur in association with oil and gas production, impacting soil properties which can impede vegetation growth and development.

The magnitude and economic replacement value of wild meat obtained from ‘recreational’ big game hunting in the United States

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Meat production has notable benefits for food security, nutrition and various production economies, but has elicited substantial negative environmental impacts. Recreational hunting provides an alternative to agricultural meat production for over 24 million hunters worldwide.
