From Finger Taps to Footsteps: Gait as a Model for Investigating and Training Rhythmic Abilities
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, EarlyView.Motor rhythmic abilities, like auditory–motor synchronization, are often assessed using finger‐tapping tasks. Here, we propose gait as a richer, more ecologically valid alternative, which engages the whole body, is continuous, and taps into both automatic and voluntary control.

Bayesian Inference for Joint Estimation Models Using Copulas to Handle Endogenous Regressors
Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study proposes a Bayesian approach for finite‐sample inference of the Gaussian copula endogeneity correction. Extant studies use frequentist inference, build on a priori computed estimates of marginal distributions of explanatory variables, and use bootstrapping to obtain standard errors. The proposed Bayesian approach facilitates precise
