A Multiresolution Stochastic Process Model for Predicting Basketball Possession Outcomes

, 2016
Basketball games evolve continuously in space and time as players constantly interact with their teammates, the opposing team, and the ball. However, current analyses of basketball outcomes rely on discretized summaries of the game that reduce such ...

New opportunities for grassland species in warming temperate winters

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1138-1150, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Temperate winters are getting warmer, the length of the growing season is increasing and mid‐winter fluctuations of warm and freezing temperatures are more frequent. Although typically winter dormant, some herbaceous perennials can maintain or grow green leaves during ...

An Extended Simplified Laplace strategy for Approximate Bayesian inference of Latent Gaussian Models using R-INLA

, 2022
Various computational challenges arise when applying Bayesian inference approaches to complex hierarchical models. Sampling-based inference methods, such as Markov Chain Monte Carlo strategies, are renowned for providing accurate results but with high computational costs and slow or questionable convergence.

Fast calibrated additive quantile regression

, 2020
We propose a novel framework for fitting additive quantile regression models, which provides well calibrated inference about the conditional quantiles and fast automatic estimation of the smoothing parameters, for model structures as diverse as those ...

Global Inequality and Future Burden of Autism Spectrum Disorders: A Frontier and Projection Analysis Based on GBD 2021

Brain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Using Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 data (1990–2021), we quantified autism spectrum disorder (ASD) prevalence, incidence, and disability‐adjusted life years (DALYs) by age, sex, region, and SDI; assessed temporal trends (EAPC); and projected future burden (BAPC).
