BayesMortalityPlus: A Package in R for Bayesian Mortality Modeling

Journal of Statistical Software
The BayesMortalityPlus package provides a framework for modeling and predicting mortality data. The package includes tools for the construction of life tables based on Heligman-Pollard laws, and also on dynamic linear smoothers. Flexibility is available

Data‐Driven Methods for Multiple and Dual Response Optimization on Operational Data Using Stochastic PRIM

Quality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Upon establishing multiple response optimization (MRO) or dual response optimization (DRO), response surface methodology (RSM) acts as a conventional model‐driven framework for optimizing small‐sized experimental data to derive an input condition in which a decent response is expected.

(In)justice in Smart Cities: Barriers and an Integrative Framework for Solution Pathways From a Global Perspective

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Smart city initiatives aim for sustainability and inclusiveness, but recent evidence shows that they often lead to injustices. Although this contradiction has received growing academic attention, a comprehensive understanding of how justice is addressed within smart city practices remains limited.

The Nexus Between Circular Economy and Sustainable Supply Chain Management: PRISMA Methodology

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The intersection of sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) and circular economy (CE) has attracted increasing academic and practical attention, emphasizing the need for integrated sustainability approaches. This study employs the PRISMA protocol and conceptualizes the CE–SSCM relationship as a dynamic system in which internal capabilities,

Using thermal death time models to analyze cold stress resistance across Drosophila species

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Chill susceptible insects such as Drosophila are vulnerable to progressive disruption of homeostasis during cold stress, and low‐temperature exposure is a key factor affecting their physiology and distribution.

Social network dynamics under experimental manipulations of predation risk and food abundance in wild rock hyraxes

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study combines replicated experimental manipulation, social network analysis, network permutations and meta‐analysis to disentangle active from spatially‐induced changes in animal network structure in the wild. It reveals that short‐term environmental changes primarily alter space use, with limited effects on social structure.

How Do M&A Rumours Influence Deal Completion? The Role of Board Gender Diversity and Language Differences

British Journal of Management, EarlyView.
Abstract In this study, we apply the upper echelons theory (UET) lens to investigate how M&A rumours influence deal completion. Based on our findings, we propose a two‐stage channel that drives the rumour‐specific effect. In doing so, we provide theoretical arguments and empirical support for the relationship between M&A rumours and deal completions ...

Sieve bootstrapping in the Lee-Carter model

, 2013
This paper studies an alternative approach to construct confidence intervals for parameter estimates of the Lee-Carter model. First, the procedure of obtaining confidence intervals using regular nonparametric i.i.d. bootstrap is specified. Empirical evidence seems to invalidate this approach as it indicates strong autocorrelation and cross correlation ...
