Big Five Personality Traits and Trajectories of Fertility Expectations Across the Reproductive Age Period

Journal of Personality, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective In recent decades, increased freedom of choice and advancements in fertility regulation have allowed individuals to follow different fertility paths. This greater autonomy provides room for personality traits to shape long‐term fertility expectations, which in turn can be predictive of fertility outcomes.

Adaptive Estimation for Weakly Dependent Functional Times Series

Journal of Time Series Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We propose adaptive mean and autocovariance function estimators for stationary functional time series under 𝕃p−m‐approximability assumptions. These estimators are designed to adapt to the regularity of the curves and to accommodate both sparse and dense data designs.

Modeling of the daily dynamics in bike rental system using weather and calendar conditions: A semi-parametric approach

Scientific African
This study proposes a more robust methodological approach to modeling the effect of weather and calendar variables on the number of bike rentals. We employ penalized splines quasi-Poisson regression (a semi-parametric model), which involves some form of ...

Analyzing Non‐Random Selectivity in Online Job Advertisements Using Eurostat Benchmark Data and Generalized Sample Selection Models: An Application to EU Regional Labor Markets

LABOUR, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The present paper provides an overall framework to afford the problem of non‐representativeness and non‐random selectivity arising from online job ads data, using Generalized sample selection models and Eurostat benchmark data. We jointly model the outcome intensity (number of online job ads in observed profiles, whose levels are defined by ...

SEMIPARAMETRIC PENALIZED SPLINE REGRESSION

SEMIPARAMETRIC PENALIZED SPLINE REGRESSION
In this paper, we propose a new semiparametric regression estimator by using a hybrid technique of a parametric approach and a nonparametric penalized spline method. The overall shape of the true regression function is captured by the parametric part, while its residual is consistently estimated by the nonparametric part.

A Systematic Review on Applications of Artificial Intelligence for Obesity Prevention

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This systematic review examines the applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in preventing obesity, addressing a critical public health issue that affects a substantial portion of the population. With obesity rates rising alarmingly, particularly in the United States, this review synthesizes findings from 46 studies published between 2008 ...

Weaponizing Kinship: A Demographic Analysis of Bereavement in the Colombian Conflict

Population and Development Review, EarlyView.
Abstract The ongoing Colombian armed conflict has produced widespread homicides and enforced disappearances, as armed actors used violence to terrorize communities and consolidate power. Family bereavement—one of the most pervasive and enduring consequences of this violence—remains critically understudied from a quantitative perspective.

Explaining Burden Reduction in Municipal Service Delivery: The Case of Streamlined Electric Vehicle Charger Permitting in California

Public Administration Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Administrative burdens are deliberate policy choices, as governments can proactively design rules and procedures to shape burdens experienced by citizens. While existing research has examined the effects of burden reduction strategies, less is known about the factors driving burden reduction actions at the local level.
