Statistical Detection of Adversarial Compliance With Benford's Law

open access: yesStatistical Analysis and Data Mining: An ASA Data Science Journal, Volume 19, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT We address the task of identifying anomalous observations by analyzing digits under the lens of Benford's law. Motivated by the crucial objective of providing reliable statistical analysis of customs declarations, we answer one major and still open question: How can we detect the behavior of operators who are aware of the prevalence of the ...

Wasserstein Regression, Forecasting, and Change‐Point Detection for Daily Traffic Flow Distributions

open access: yesStatistical Analysis and Data Mining: An ASA Data Science Journal, Volume 19, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT We develop a distribution‐valued framework for modeling, forecasting, and monitoring traffic flow counts by treating each day as a probability distribution summarized by jittered empirical quantile signatures. Inference is conducted under the 2‐Wasserstein geometry, which in one dimension is isometric to the L2(0,1)$$ {L}^2\left(0,1\right ...

Bayesian Frameworks for Explicit Biological Age Estimation

open access: yesStatistical Analysis and Data Mining: An ASA Data Science Journal, Volume 19, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Biological age (BA) is a quantity of interest in insurance, and this paper explores the statistical foundations for estimating an individual's BA, proposing a semi‐parametric Bayesian model for its estimation using multiple quantitative and qualitative phenotypes. BA is modeled explicitly as a latent biological state that influences observable

Variance‐Guided Regression for Heteroscedastic Data With a Grouping‐Based Extension for Nonlinear Prediction

open access: yesStatistics in Medicine, Volume 45, Issue 13-14, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Although homoscedasticity is often assumed in linear regression, real data may show variance patterns or residual structures that violate this assumption. We propose VarGuid, a variance‐guided framework for two related settings: Covariate‐dependent conditional variance under a global linear mean model, and residual nonlinear mean structure ...

Fast Estimation and Valid Statistical Inference for Mixed‐Effect Location‐Scale Models Using Variational Inference

open access: yesStatistics in Medicine, Volume 45, Issue 13-14, June 2026.
ABSTRACT With the development of modern technology, richer and more intensive longitudinal data are available for researchers to study more complex model structures. The Mixed‐Effect Location‐Scale Model (MELS) is useful for modeling the variance components in such data.
