Are Less Affluent People Less Likely to Run for Political Office?
Swiss Political Science Review, EarlyView.Abstract In almost all democracies, elected officials are better off than most of the citizens they represent. Recent research has shown that this descriptive misrepresentation is partly due to voter and party bias against less well‐off candidates. In this paper, we explore a third possible explanation: Are less affluent people less likely to run for ...

Perceptual accuracy, policy congruence and electoral success of candidates
Swiss Political Science Review, EarlyView.Abstract Recent research has documented that politicians are not good at estimating citizens' policy preferences, though their ability to do so varies across parties and individuals. The postulated link between this low perceptual accuracy and substantive representation has rarely been explored empirically.

Performance of epistasis detection methods in semi-simulated GWAS
BMC Bioinformatics, 2018 Background Part of the missing heritability in Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) is expected to be explained by interactions between genetic variants, also called epistasis. Various statistical methods have been developed to detect epistasis in case-

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 5, May 2026.ABSTRACT Norovirus outbreaks in healthcare settings pose significant challenges to infection prevention and control (IPC). To prevent and control such outbreaks efficiently, identifying sources and transmission clusters (TCs) is crucial but often limited by traditional outbreak investigations.

Cognitive Science, Volume 50, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract This study investigated the cognitive mechanisms underlying the processing of garden‐path sentences by examining the influence of verb/structural bias, cloze probability, surprisal, and plausibility. Using self‐paced reading with yes/no comprehension questions, we analyzed a structurally diverse set of 11 types of ambiguous and unambiguous ...

Asymptotic independence in more than two dimensions and its implications on risk management
Canadian Journal of Statistics, Volume 54, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract In extreme value theory, the presence of asymptotic independence signifies that joint extreme events across multiple variables are unlikely. Although well understood in a bivariate context, the concept remains relatively unexplored when addressing the nuances of simultaneous occurrence of extremes in higher dimensions.

Comparison of modularity-based approaches for nodes clustering in hypergraphs
Peer Community JournalStatistical analysis and node clustering in hypergraphs constitute an emerging topic suffering from a lack of standardization. In contrast to the case of graphs, the concept of nodes' community in hypergraphs is not unique and encompasses various ...
