Approximating multidimensionality with asymmetric unidimensional IRT models
British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract Unidimensional item response theory (IRT) models are widely used even in settings where assessment data exhibit subtle forms of multidimensionality. Recent empirical evidence suggests that when item difficulty is associated with dimensionality, asymmetric item characteristic curves (ICCs) emerge in the unidimensional approximation.

Efficient Estimation of Copula-based Semiparametric Markov Models [PDF]
This paper considers efficient estimation of copula-based semiparametric strictly stationary Markov models. These models are characterized by nonparametric invariant (one-dimensional marginal) distributions and parametric bivariate copula functions ...

Late Holocene moisture variability in Arctic Alaska from chitin δ18O
Boreas, EarlyView.Amplified warming in the Arctic has resulted in reduced sea‐ice extent, which can impact regional climate dynamics. Elucidating past moisture variability in response to changing temperatures and sea‐ice conditions can offer insight into how anthropogenic climate change may impact Arctic areas such as the Alaskan North Slope in the future. We contribute

Boreas, EarlyView.Palynological records are central to the biostratigraphic subdivision of the Late Pleistocene in central Europe. Yet many interglacial and interstadial phases—such as the Eemian, Brörup and Odderade—remain only poorly constrained in time due to limited numerical dating.

A Generalized ARFIMA Process with Markov-Switching Fractional Differencing Parameter [PDF]
We propose a general class of Markov-switching-ARFIMA processes in order to combine strands of long memory and Markov-switching literature. Although the coverage of this class of models is broad, we show that these models can be easily estimated with the

Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background The increasing burden of oral diseases in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs) and limited access to and affordability of oral care disproportionately impact disadvantaged groups. Oral health research has been dominated by professional academic perspectives with limited contribution from the communities involved. The aim of this

Association in time of a finite semi-Markov process
We derive three equivalent sufficient conditions for association in time of a finite state semi-Markov process in terms of transition probabilities and crude hazard rates.

A Survey of Methods for Constructing 3D Urban Models From Point Clouds
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.The survey outlines a general process for constructing 3D models from point clouds and categorizes the methods based on their use of templates, basic surface primitives, hybrid approaches, or linear primitives. Additionally, the survey reviews the datasets and benchmarks that are essential for testing and training the developed methods.
