A Novel Full‐Chain Loop Tracking Auditing Framework for Obtaining Audit Evidence With Reasonable Assurance

open access: yesCAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As an attestation engagement, auditing is required to provide reasonable assurance for its conclusions. Traditional auditing has limited capacity to handle unstructured data and is usually based on audit sampling techniques, which can lead to the neglect of important audit evidence during the auditing process and result in a higher audit risk,

AUGURAL TERRITORIES: On the Prophetic Organizing of the Mid‐range

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article I introduce the concept of augural territories to theorize the urbanism that emerged during pandemic lockdowns. I draw on ethnographic research in Madrid to examine how community‐based responses—including mutual aid networks, food pantries and neighbourhood associations—disrupted the spatial and temporal logics of territorial ...

Repurposing Agricultural Budgets With Multiple Objectives and Fiscal Constraints: A Multicriteria Decision‐Making Policy Tool Applied to Sub‐Saharan African Countries

open access: yesJournal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Repurposing agricultural public resources toward higher‐return incentives and investments can help transform agri‐food systems. This is important for low‐income countries, especially in sub‐Saharan Africa, where limited budgets restrict options for boosting agricultural spending.

Comparative effectiveness of alternative times to opioid agonist treatment taper initiation on taper completion and all‐cause mortality among people with opioid use disorder: A retrospective population‐based target trial emulation study in British Columbia, Canada, 2010–2020

open access: yesAddiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and aims Opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment guidelines worldwide recommend opioid agonist treatment (OAT) as a long‐term, potentially indefinite treatment for managing OUD. However, many individuals express a strong interest in eventually tapering fully off treatment.

A tutorial on Bayesian model averaging for exponential random graph models

open access: yesBritish Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract The use of exponential random graph models (ERGMs) is becoming prevalent in psychology due to their ability to explain and predict the formation of edges between vertices in a network. Valid inference with ERGMs requires correctly specifying endogenous and exogenous effects as network statistics, guided by theory, to represent the network ...

A Bayes factor framework for unified parameter estimation and hypothesis testing

open access: yesBritish Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract The Bayes factor, the data‐based updating factor of the prior to posterior odds of two hypotheses, is a natural measure of statistical evidence for one hypothesis over the other. We show how Bayes factors can also be used for parameter estimation.

Local Search and the Evolution of World Models

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract An open question regarding how people develop their models of the world is how new candidates are generated for consideration out of infinitely many possibilities. We discuss the role that evolutionary mechanisms play in this process. Specifically, we argue that when it comes to developing a global world model, innovation is necessarily ...

Using multilabel classification neural network to detect intersectional DIF with small sample sizes

open access: yesBritish Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study introduces InterDIFNet, a multilabel classification neural network for detecting intersectional differential item functioning (DIF) in educational and psychological assessments, with a focus on small sample sizes. Unlike traditional marginal DIF methods, which often fail to capture the effects of intersecting identities and require ...

Review of cognitive diagnostic models (CDMs): Recent methodological advancements for addressing practical challenges

open access: yesBritish Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cognitive diagnostic models (CDMs) have become essential tools for providing fine‐grained information about individuals' mastery of cognitive skills. While prior reviews have emphasized statistical foundations and deep learning‐based developments, this article focuses on recent methodological innovations designed to address persistent ...

Non‐Rigid 3D Shape Correspondences: From Foundations to Open Challenges and Opportunities

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Estimating correspondences between deformed shape instances is a long‐standing problem in computer graphics; numerous applications, from texture transfer to statistical modelling, rely on recovering an accurate correspondence map. Many methods have thus been proposed to tackle this challenging problem from varying perspectives, depending on ...
