A joint model of cost and churn for the insurance industry

Journal of Risk and Insurance, EarlyView.
Abstract In insurance markets, claim costs are highly variable, heavy‐tailed, and difficult to predict. At the same time, policyholder retention and lapse behavior (customer churn) are critical determinants of long‐term profitability and solvency. Most existing models in the literature treat claim costs and lapses as independent, overlooking potential ...

Multifaceted Role of Multilevel Statistical and Linguistic Information From Target Language in Predicting Second Language Verb–Preposition and Verb–Particle Construction Production

Language Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract This study explores how statistical properties of verb–preposition and verb–particle constructions (VPCs) and their interplay in the target language shape second language (L2) production across L2 proficiency levels. We compared phrasal frequency and three contingency measures—mutual information (MI), forward delta P (ΔP), and backward ΔP—of ...

Gaze Behavior Across Proficiency Levels in Video‐Mediated Second Language Interactional Competence Assessment

Language Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract There has been an increasing interest in better understanding the role of embodied resources in second language (L2) assessment contexts and thus expanding the construct of interactional competence (IC). However, multimodal analysis has yet to break new grounds in video‐mediated interactions in digital assessment environments.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae Yeast‐Based Supplement and Breast Milk Supply: A Randomised Placebo‐Controlled Trial

Maternal &Child Nutrition, EarlyView.
Maternal brewer's yeast supplementation did not change the milk oligosaccharide (HMO) concentration, but more mothers felt their milk supply was increased, and fewer reported formula use by 6 months postpartum compared to those taking the placebo. This suggests the supplement may support breastfeeding, warranting further investigation in larger trials.
