Optimizing ridge regression through Bayesian estimators: a Lindley's approximation study
Journal of Statistical Computation and SimulationIn linear regression modelling, it is crucial for the explanatory variables to be uncorrelated with each other; however, this assumption is often violated. When the explanatory variables are highly multicollinear, the ordinary least squares (OLS) estimator can yield estimates with larger variances.

LLM‐based prior elicitation for Bayesian graphical modeling
British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In the Bayesian graphical modeling framework, priors on network structure encode theoretical assumptions and uncertainty about the topology of psychological constructs under study. For instance, the Bernoulli prior specifies the probability of each pairwise interaction, the Beta–Bernoulli prior governs expected network density, and the ...

The G.I. Bill and underemployment
Contemporary Economic Policy, EarlyView.Abstract Recent veteran college graduates report experiencing high levels of underemployment, which have a negative impact on their well‐being and hinder their successful transition to civilian life. This paper quantifies the scope of this problem by estimating the impact of World War II, Vietnam War, and Post‐9/11 G.I.

Political Partisanship and State‐Level Bank Efficiency
Financial Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We examine the relationship between political partisanship and commercial bank efficiency in the United States from 1972 to 2020, assessing the persistent influence of political affiliations at the state and District of Columbia levels. Bank efficiency scores are estimated using a double‐bootstrap approach, and the analysis is conducted within

Lindley’s Approximation in Estimating Two-Parameters Inverted Weighted Exponential Distribution
Universiti Malaysia Terengganu Journal of Undergraduate ResearchThe Inverted Weighted Exponential distribution can be used to describe and model real life phenomena with unimodal or decreasing failure rates. The main aim of this study is to use Bayesian approach to estimate the two parameters of the distribution.

Fisheries Oceanography, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The linkage between growth rate and feeding success in fish larvae has received much attention as a potential indicator of future growth and survival potential. Given the increasing evidence that the growth–survival relationship is highly variable, the growth–feeding linkage would also exhibit variable dynamics among cohorts of the same ...

“Nowhere else to go”: Slow abandonment and (en)closures of long‐term care in Los Angeles
Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract Residential long‐term care facilities, known in California as “board and care” homes, have been closing rapidly in the last decade. Proponents assert these provide vital forms of housing and care to the poor and must be saved, while critics contend they perpetuate the institutionalization of people with disabilities and should be abolished ...

The Impact of Digital Technologies on Skills‐to‐Job Mismatches
New Technology, Work and Employment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A pervasive discourse calls for worker upskilling amid ongoing digital transformation. This study introduces a skills‐to‐job mismatch perspective into research on the digital transformation of work by conceptualising technological adoption as a process that reshapes the relationship between workers’ skill endowments and evolving job ...

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction We studied the response of fish assemblages, water quality, and plankton following the completion of 700 acres of a 1184‐acre tidal restoration project (Dutch Slough Tidal Restoration; DSTR) in a system degraded by water diversions, channelization, non‐native species, and wetland loss.
