Word Length in Political Public Speaking: Distribution and Time Evolution
EntropyIn this paper, word length in the texts of public speeches by USA and UK politicians is analyzed. More than 300 speeches delivered over the past two hundred years were studied. It is found that the lognormal distribution better describes the distribution

On Metric Choice in Dimension Reduction for Fréchet Regression
International Statistical Review, Volume 94, Issue 2, Page 325-346, August 2026.Summary Fréchet regression is becoming a mainstay in modern data analysis for analysing non‐traditional data types belonging to general metric spaces. This novel regression method is especially useful in the analysis of complex health data such as continuous monitoring and imaging data.

Biases in the Maximum Simulated Likelihood Estimation of the Mixed Logit Model
EconometricsIn a recent study, it was demonstrated that the maximum simulated likelihood (MSL) estimator produces significant biases when applied to the bivariate normal and bivariate Poisson-lognormal models.

Count data analysis is essential across diverse fields, from ecology and accident analysis to single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and metagenomics. While log transformations are computationally efficient, model-based approaches such as the Poisson-Log-Normal (PLN) model provide robust statistical foundations and are more amenable to extensions.

The Wells–Riley Model Revisited II: Parameter Uncertainty and Population Heterogeneity
Risk Analysis, Volume 46, Issue 8, August 2026.ABSTRACT In this work, we revisit the Wells–Riley model, which has been widely used to estimate airborne infection risk in indoor settings. In particular, we consider a probabilistic (i.e., “stochastic”) framework of the Wells–Riley model which allows one to quantify infection risk in terms of the per‐capita probability of infection for each ...

Stage duration distributions in matrix population models
Ecology and Evolution, 2018 Matrix population models are a standard tool for studying stage‐structured populations, but they are not flexible in describing stage duration distributions. This study describes a method for modeling various such distributions in matrix models.

Ain Shams Engineering JournalShotgun cellular systems (SCSs) are stochastic models of wireless networks where base stations (BSs) are randomly deployed across spatial settings of dimension one, two, or three, under a Poisson point process (PPP).

Bayesian Poisson‐Lognormal Regression With Compositional Effect Shares for Multivariate Count Data
EnvironmetricsABSTRACT Multivariate count data are central in community ecology and related fields, where interest lies in how environmental gradients and management actions jointly shape the abundances of many taxa. The Poisson‐lognormal (PLN) model is a natural workhorse in this setting, accommodating overdispersion and cross‐
