The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Phylogenetic comparative methods have been used in recent literature to work with laws and test for regularities (evolutionary associations of quantitative features) and evolutionary singularities (features that evolved in a single taxon). We analyzed these uses epistemologically, taking the evolution of red‐blood‐cell mean corpuscular volume (

Evolutionary morphology of the haplorhine hamate
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Primates adopt a variety of hand postures during an impressive diversity of locomotor and manipulative behaviors. Morphological research has found that elements of the hand skeleton, such as the hamate, hold key information for inferring hand use and locomotor kinematics in extinct species.

Power spectral density and the brain
Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract Time series from M/EEG (magneto/electroencephalography) and ECoG (electrocorticography) recordings are common sources of information about brain function. The power spectral density (PSD) preserves much of this information, up to second order. In the current decade, a burst of brain diagnostics using the slope of log(PSD) has appeared.

A conversation with James V. Zidek
Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.AbstractThis article documents a series of exchanges between the authors and the senior Canadian statistician Jim Zidek in early 2026. The interview traces his life trajectory, surveying his principal contributions to statistics while offering insights into his motivations, successes, and challenges. Zidek is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and

Stats, 2021 We consider a spread financial market defined by the multidimensional Ornstein–Uhlenbeck (OU) process. We study the optimal consumption/investment problem for logarithmic utility functions using a stochastic dynamical programming method.

Contributions to Plasma Physics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The properties of plasmas in the low‐density limit are described by virial expansions. Analytical expressions are known for the lowest virial coefficients from Green's function approaches. Recently, accurate path‐integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) simulations were performed for the hydrogen plasma at low densities by Filinov and Bonitz (Phys. Rev.

Shape of Yield Curves Under Instrument‐Based Parallel Shifts
Journal of Futures Markets, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper studies the shape of zero and par yield curves through the carry and convexity of zero‐bond and par–swap butterflies under instrument‐based parallel shifts: the component instruments are held fixed, and each instrument's own quote receives the same additive shock.

On the Integral of the Fractional Brownian Motion and Some Pseudo-Fractional Gaussian Processes
Mathematics, 2019 We investigate the main statistical parameters of the integral over time of the fractional Brownian motion and of a kind of pseudo-fractional Gaussian process, obtained as a classical Gauss−Markov process from Doob representation by replacing ...

Near Surface Geophysics, EarlyView.Abstract In studies of subsurface hydrology, monitoring and imaging techniques are used to estimate the moisture content, or to track moisture or injected tracer movement. One applied imaging technique is electrical resistance tomography (ERT), in which measurements collected using electrodes placed on the ground surface or in boreholes are used to ...

Epidemic Waves in a Stochastic SIRVI Epidemic Model Incorporating the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck Process
Mathematics, 2023 The worldwide data for COVID-19 for active, infected individuals in multiple waves show that traditional epidemic models with constant parameters are not able to capture this kind of disease behavior.
