Survival Analysis of Fatigue Lifetime in Aged Elastomers Using Weibull and Cox Regression Models
ABSTRACT Fatigue tests conducted on elastomers inherently exhibit significant variability. Aging may induce stiffening and embrittlement, leading to premature failures outside the specimen gauge length and resulting in right‐censored data. Combined with the limited number of specimens, this leads to large uncertainties in fatigue lifetime estimation ...

Path diagrams showing the results of piecewise structural equation models examining how fitness (total number of seeds in flowering individuals) of Cerastium fontanum depended on temperature at planting site, temperature difference, mating type, and flowering time (FFD, first flowering date) in each of the two study years.

Bayesian Inference for Multivariate Monotone Densities
ABSTRACT We consider a nonparametric Bayesian approach to estimation and testing for a multivariate monotone density. Instead of following the conventional Bayesian approach of imposing a prior that satisfies the monotonicity restriction, we place a prior on the step heights via binning and a Dirichlet distribution. The resulting posterior distribution

Abstract Flood risk is correlated in space and time, challenging insurance systems that rely on diversification across assets. Financial instruments governing flood coverage are typically structured as 1–5‐year contracts, exposing portfolios to climate‐driven risk at interannual‐to‐decadal scales.

Stop Using Limiting Stimuli as a Measure of Sensitivities of Energetic Materials
ABSTRACT Accurately estimating the sensitivity of explosive materials is a potentially life‐saving task that requires standardised protocols across nations. One of the most widely applied procedures worldwide is the so‐called ‘1‐In‐6’ test from the United Nations (UN) Manual of Tests in Criteria, which estimates a ‘limiting stimulus’ for a material. In

Abstract Accurate forecasting of geomagnetic perturbations is essential for assessing space weather risk of geomagnetic activities. Thanks to decades of magnetometer observations from world‐wide distributed networks and upstream solar wind observations at L1, data‐driven modeling of global geomagnetic perturbations has become increasingly feasible ...

Abstract We demonstrate a data‐driven parameterization framework for snow albedo evolution using a constrained auto‐regressive neural differential equation that directly predicts snow albedo change from standard meteorological inputs. After training with multi‐year in situ and satellite observations from a wide variety of locations, the scheme ...

This work addresses the problem of the nonparametric estimation of the regression function, namely the conditional distribution and the conditional quantile in the single functional index model (SFIM) under the independent and identically distributed ...

ABSTRACT The number of studies in literature examining the relationship between economic complexity and environment continues to increase. In those studies, either environmental degradation is represented by a limited indicator, or a traditional empirical method is preferred.
